Creative
Stenciled Concrete Coffee Table
Refurbish a plain concrete tabletop or cast a slab, then use the etcher to open pores and remove laitance before applying water-based concrete stain and sealer. The etching improves adhesion so multi-color stencils, metallics, or distress finishes stay crisp. Because the formula is acid-free and low-odor, you can etch indoors in a garage or studio without strong fumes.
Grip-Textured Patio Art
Create decorative yet functional patio tiles or walkways by etching smooth pavers to increase tooth, then applying contrasting stains or paints and sealing. Use the etcher to roughen the surface selectively (mask off patterns) so some areas are non-slip while others are smooth and glossy — great for pool surrounds, steps, and outdoor mosaics.
Custom Concrete Planters & Garden Sculptures
Make or repurpose concrete planters and sculptures, etch them to remove efflorescence and open the surface, then apply penetrating sealer or decorative stain for long-lasting color and weather protection. The neutral, water-based product eliminates the need for acid neutralization, keeping delicate plants and soil safe during prep.
Indoor Faux-Wood or Terrazzo Floors
For a DIY room makeover, etch existing concrete floors to improve stain and epoxy adhesion before creating faux-wood planks or terrazzo effects. The industrial-strength etcher gives consistent porosity so stains penetrate evenly and epoxies bond without peeling — ideal for basements, studios, or retail display floors where indoor-safe chemicals are important.
