* Concrete surface
* Iron sulphate
* Water
* Sponge
* Gloves
* Eye protection
Instructions:
1. Prepare the concrete surface by cleaning it thoroughly and removing any dirt, grease, or oil stains.
2. Put on your gloves and eye protection.
3. Mix the iron sulphate with water according to the package directions.
4. Apply the iron sulphate solution to the concrete surface using a sponge.
5. Let the iron sulphate solution sit on the concrete for the desired amount of time. The longer the solution sits, the darker the stain will be.
6. Rinse the concrete surface thoroughly with water.
7. Allow the concrete surface to dry completely.
Tips:
* Test the iron sulphate solution on a small area of the concrete before applying it to the entire surface. This will help you to ensure that you are happy with the color of the stain.
* Be sure to rinse the concrete surface thoroughly after applying the iron sulphate solution. This will help to prevent any residual iron sulphate from reacting with the concrete and causing it to discolor.
* Iron sulphate can be used to stain both new and old concrete. However, it is important to note that the stain will be more pronounced on new concrete.
* Iron sulphate can be used to create a variety of different stain effects. For example, you can create a mottled effect by applying the solution in a random pattern. You can also create a banded effect by applying the solution in stripes.
