Perma-Cast Sierra Stain is a penetrating, reactive stain that chemically combines with cured concrete for permanent, variegated coloring. It is suitable for a wide variety of interior and exterior surfaces, including floors, walls, countertops, and artificial rock formations. The varying characteristics

of the substrate (age, porosity, texture and color) help the stain produce unique results with each application, with wide color variations, mottling, and uneven coloring effects. To use, mix the stain with equal parts water in a plastic bucket, then apply with an acid brush. Concrete must be cured at least 21 days before application.
