I recently discovered a product called "acid stain", which is used to colour and decorate concrete floors. The product and application method is described in detail on the following websites, and the results are impressive: http://www.acid-stain.com and http://www.kemiko.com

However, I cannot find the product anywhere in Toronto, and the various in-store "experts" I've talked to have never heard of it. Benjamin Moore and Behrs produce something they call "concrete stain", but those products are in fact acrylic *paints* and not *stains*. I've also thoroughly searched all of the various "decorating" and "how to" sites on the internet, and can only find advice on *painting* concrete floors, not *staining*.

Has anyone ever used acid stain on concrete, and if so, do you recommend it? And do you know of any suppliers in the Toronto area? Thanks very much for any information you can provide.

Victoria,
Go to Google - http://www.google.com and search on acid stain concrete. The first nine or ten hits will surely add some insight and maybe a manufacturer. Google is currently rated the best search engine.
