Step by Step application
Here is a step by step Acid Stain application on a 43 year old walkway. This is only a guide, always follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Colors used from outside to inside: Espresso, Rusty Brown, Sahara Tan, Evergreen.

After a thorough clean up, measure and lay out your chalk lines.
 
Saw-cut using a diamond blade at a depth of 1/4”. We recommend a 4” saw for small detail and corners, and a 7” worm drive saw for the straight cuts.
Start Acid staining using a small brush and spray bottle for the bands, The rule of thumb is: small area = small brush and spray bottle, the opposite for larger areas
 
  Acid Stain one section at a time, allow to completely dry before second coat.
After second application of Acid Stain is dry, neutralize with water and baking soda, then rinse with clean water.
 
 
After rinsing allow to dry and apply two coats of clear sealer. And Voila!, you’ve just created a master piece.
