Water Reducible Concentrate (WRC) Stain is an easy to use pigmented waterborne stain that bonds tenaciously to the open pores of the concrete. It is very color accurate (what you see is what you get.)  WRC Stain colors can be blended for variations from the standard colors and faux finished for unique looks.  The more water you add the more translucent it becomes so it will not look like a painted surface.  This stain is designed to have highs and lows - but you can achieve a solid color with multiple coats.

Coverage–

• WRC Stain always requires dilution with water.
• Its minimum dilution is 4 parts water to 1 part stain.  Maximum dilution is 8 parts water to 1 part stain.  The more water you add the more translucent the stain will be. 
• At a 4:1 dilution rate a 32 oz bottle yields 1.25 gallons of ready to use stain and covers approx. 250 sq ft. (8z bottle covers 62.5sq ft) - Coverage will vary based on how heavy you apply it and how porous your concrete is.
• At a 8:1 dilution rate a 32oz bottle  yields 2.25 gallons of ready to use stain covering about 500 sq ft. (8z bottle covers 250sq ft) - Coverage will vary based on how heavy you apply it and how porous your concrete is.
• WRC can be applied in multiple coats for a solid, opaque color. 

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOUR CONCRETE BE POROUS FOR WRC TO BOND PROPERLY. 

IF YOU POUR 1/4 CUP WATER ON YOUR CONCRETE YOU SHOULD SEE THE CONCRETE CHANGE COLOR/WATER ABSORB WITHIN 15-20 SECONDS.    If not, you will need to prepare your concrete before application - you can learn more about that in the technical data sheet.

Application Instructions:

Step 1: Concrete must be very clean and porous. (Water must readily soak in and concrete should feel similar to 120 grit sandpaper.)

Step 2: WRC can be diluted  for a more translucent effect.

Step 3: Apply WRC Stain with a gravity feed HVLP sprayer (preferred), pressure pot HVLP sprayer, airless sprayer, pump sprayer, cotton rag, natural sponge (sea sponge), manufactured sponge or brush (bristle or foam).

Step 4: Allow to dry completely and apply sealer.
