Always try it on a test piece first. I've learned my lesson for sure. This stain works great and I'll be using it on future projects like driveways and other concrete. For this outdoor fireplace it was just too red and too fresh looking. I think even after it aged outside in the sun it'd still be too red for the look i was wanting. So I hope my mistakes you can learn from and check out the video of where I Fixed this Fail.

Wow, I am legally Blind and the way you went over everything even directions was Awesome. Thank you so very much.
You are very welcome!
Yeah bro. You should have done a small testing spot or used it on an entirely separate stone completely.
Anyhow. Live and learn. Great job fireplace looks GREAT
Yep. I learned the hard way. But the end result came out amazing looking.
Looks good man. Are u concerned about the heat cracking the cinder blocks in your fireplace?
Thank you. No I did some test runs and surprisingly the heat doesn’t hit the block too much. And it dissipates well. You’d have to pack the whole thing wall to wall with wood and light it up to really get the walls to over heat.
We used this stain but used the Behr primer under it. It dried more brown and had a true stained concrete look. We loved it. We added a black layer spritzed on top of it also with a spray bottle.
That would be a good idea to use the primer first. I made the mistake of just going straight to stain and well you see how it turned out.
@@FortKnoxCo The primer made it dissipate creating random patterns. I got nervous when I saw Fail because I was worried we messed up by using it
Great idea and using the seal first is best.
@@FortKnoxCo I'm confused doesn't primer and paint ( not stain) trap moisture. Ruins things that bricks
@@DawnSaleh if it’s a primer and paint then it will most likely trap moisture or repel moister. That could lead to problems if your not wanting that to happen
Where was the swat team?!! They should have taken you down when you dipped the brush in the can ! LOL
I saw your fix video, nice work, looks great!
Awesome Fireplace !
Enjoy it !!!
I know right?!? I should have known better. But lesson learned and the fix came out great. They way I fixed it was how I was wanting to do it anyways but I was being lazy and wanted to try painting it. Lol
Was this a stain FAIL, or a color choice fail. Trying to find out if I want to try this stain. Thank you for the video...... I've never been a fan of the color of RUST. Neighbors us the color RUST with their wood mulch too. ???? just not my color taste I guess. Your fireplace is awsome!
Lol. I think it’s was an operator error mostly. The stain did it’s thing, but I just wasn’t prepared for how it’d take or what type of translucency it’d have. So I mainly made the video to show people what to expect when it takes to the cement or whatever they are going to apply it to. Just incase they don’t try a sample area like they recommend. Haha.
Your wall looks great! What type of stone panel is that and where did you get it?
I got it from Arizona Stone and it’s Coronado stone products.
@@FortKnoxCo do you have a video of the stone wall install?
@@christmaslightsinorangecou5916 I have some video of when I was installing it but haven’t put it together to post on here yet. We’re you wanting to know something specific or just a full how to install veneer stone on Block wall?
@@jaxfortner7979 Sorry thought i replied to this. Really like the way your wall looks and we would like to do something to our backyard block wall. There are not a lot of good videos online on how this is done. please share your how to when you have it completed. Thanks!
@@FortKnoxCo can you please provide a link to the stone / color you used? :)
Can I use the same way inside ? I truly want to stained my floors
Yes you can use this product on any type of concrete pretty much. There’s all kinds of options for staining or coloring concrete. Everything from transparent stain like this to full color stain to epoxy and special paints.
Can you tell me what color Behr concrete stain you used?
I’m not 100% on the color I had them mix. It’s been over a year now that I used that can and I believe we threw it away. Sorry
It looks like a terracotta
What stones did you buy . They look really good
I used Coronado Stone for this fireplace build. They are a really good product and I’ll be using them again for sure.
SOOOO surprised he didn't do a sample piece, area, first... And the color he chose 🤔 bummer... Don't do this, ALWAYS try a sample first... 😉
I was just going for it. I had a backup plan already which I ended up fixing this with, but I wanted to try the stain first because it could have been a lot less labor intensive than the smooth stucco finish I ended up doing. But that’s also why I filmed this process, lol. I had a feeling it could go really good, or really bad.
You could do epoxy to cover that up
Very true. I considered it. But decided to keep the stone /concrete look
why did you broom the concrete to begin with?
The initial concrete slabs? I was hoping to get a very light texture but the concrete was too wet and set before I could get back to it to smooth it out or retry a brush finish. It left deeper grooves than I wanted. So I planned on polishing the concrete, or staining and sealing. I was sort of experimenting with different finishes. It was a project at our home so I took the liberty to learn and try some stuff.
Brown stain
Yep 💯
Your kid is so friggn cute.
Thank you. They are the best.
We used Behr concrete stain also. Worst stain EVER
Yeah I wasn’t too happy with this one for sure
@@FortKnoxCo we did our entire 900 sq ft patio ….. now about to grind it off and redo
@@Jack-er6wi awww man. That’s no good. Sorry to hear that. I ended up doing the stucco finish on the concrete bench to cover it up.
A little messy
Just a little
Just wasted a day on my concrete with Behar crap. After 30 years painting, I should know better than use a water based stain on concrete, ESPECIALLY SEMI TRANSPARENT CRAP! After two coats it still looks like Grey crap.
Luckily, it's at my house, not a customers. Now I get to take another day, and get water based, since you cannot use DECENT STAIN, like H&C, which home depot no longer sells, have to go to lowes for that, but unfortunately, I can't fo that now. I have you use a solid color paint. Water based. DAMN!
Aww man sorry to hear this. Yeah I learned my lesson right away with this stuff.
Dude it's a stain not paint. Read what a stain does
Ok
Your correct. My main thing was to see how the concrete surface would absorb the stain, if it took it evenly or how much color it would give it in one or two passes. A true concrete paint would be much thicker and most likely cover in one pass.
I can sell you some better professional products for your needs.
You repeat yourself too much. Thanks
I appreciate the feedback.
