INSL-X TuffCrete Waterborne Acrylic Concrete Stain Paint, Clear, 1 Gallon

Love it, painted my around house sidewalk, outside table slab and fountain slab. Matches my house color. Have to apply 2 coats as 1st gets sucked into the concrete which is what you want. Seems to be very durable.

Worked great on our concrete front porch. Easy to apply and the color is amazing!

Amazing packaging! Sort of more blue color than gray to be honest. Also more of a paint and not a stain. Went on well and made my front walkway look fresh for 1/100th of the price to replace.

This is an amazing product! I’ve never stained concrete before but Tuffcrete made it so easy. I’m building a house that will be a rental property and opted for stained concrete floors because they’re renter friendly and inexpensive. This was new concrete, poured about three months prior to staining, so I didn’t have to etch or grind. I did vacuum (shop vac) the floors and then washed them (garden hose with Dawn dish detergent, and vacuumed up the water). I chose a water based stain because I wanted lighter colors than you can get from acid stain. Acid staining also had extra steps of neutralizing and washing the stain. I did these floors by myself so I wanted to minimize the work. I was going for a random look so I wanted to spray the floors as opposed to using a roller. I had problems with sprayers. First I tried a pump sprayer that you would use to kill weeds. I diluted the stain with 20% water (about 26 oz of water for each gallon) and it still clogged the sprayer up. Next I tried a corded paint sprayer, which was a nightmare with the electrical cord to the sprayer and a hose from the sprayer to the trigger. I spent more time moving and wrestling cords than I did spraying. Finally I got a cordless paint sprayer from Wagner which was significantly easier and faster. The only issue was the battery doesn’t last long, so get at least 2 batteries! One of the reasons I chose Tuffcrete is because they said it is self-priming and self-sealing. And it really is! I was thrilled to avoid two extra steps in the process. I also love that I won’t have to etch or grind this stain in the future because there’s no heavy sealer. I can just apply the same product on top of this as needed. I used Tintable White and Desert Sand. I did two coats of the white to give the floors a solid base then one light coat of sand for a little bit of contrast. I diluted the stain with 20% water each time. I used about 2 gallons of white stain for one coat on about 1,550sf of floor. And 1 gallon of sand for the lighter coat on top. The attached pictures show the original bare floor, two coats of white, and the finished floors. Hope this helps you!

Tuff-Crete is the best!!! It saved my mortar joints on cabin! Id recommend to Anyone wanting to waterproof concrete and just give it a professional appearance.

This floor paint is easy to apply and the dessert sand color is beautiful. It doesn’t look like stain. It is definitely paint but it gave the concrete floor a fresh clean look.

This works so well on concrete walls as well as floors but you do have to mix the stain very well. It comes separated from the paint and I thought it was too thin. It was not too thin but was perfect once I mixed it well and worked so nicely!

Chipped off as soon as it had 24 hours to cure. Water spraying on it made the stain come off, moving a piece of light furniture made a scuff mark, and other barely moving things caused chips to come off. Poor product, waste of money, and now I get to stain my porch AGAIN using a different product of course. What a waste of good $$.
