Brick staining - fixing agent?
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="Stephen Tashi, post: 6005085, member: 186655"] There are commercial kits for renewing the appearance of brick by staining them. They use "mineral paints", which (it sees to me) employ metal oxides for color. They use potassium silicate as a binder that fixes the color in the brick by "silification". For a DIY brick staining kit, it's possible to buy metal oxide pigments from places that sell it for use in compounding DIY cosmetics and artists paints. Is there a commonly available product that could be used as a fixing agent? Some speculations: 1) Concrete hardener? - some concrete hardeners are based on potassium silicate 2) Plant food? - some plant foods advertise being a source of potassium and silicon 3) Concrete sealers?
