Getting the effect of "wet stone" on the surface "Washed concrete." My decision
To make the decorative surface on concrete blocks of the fence need to cover them with some kind of lacquer. The most common - acrylic primers, varnishes and impregnation. But they do not give guests a striking effect of "wet stone".
Most durable, abrasion-resistant, weather-resistant product with such an effect - a two-component polyurethane varnish for outdoor use. One-component for internal works - yellowing from ultraviolet radiation of the sun. It is cheaper.
The city found a company that is engaged in the industrial polymer floors. I came to know the details to suit your needs. It turned out that they do not have to work outside, because it rarely ask for the price: 550 € / kg..
Recommended to try taking liter. But gained only fluating impregnation to increase the strength of the concrete surface: MB-1.
Reinforcement of concrete - him.protsess when flyuaty react with free lime in concrete with conversion to the mechanically firm connection calcium fluoride. And as solid silicates are formed. In this case the surface strength of the concrete increases from 30% to 50%. Increase: resistance to frost, resistance to abrasion (10 times).
I covered this impregnation cover pillars and masonry cover between the posts. Because these places are the most susceptible to precipitation, will saturate with moisture.
But the effect of "wet stone" does not appear. The water dried up and all. Although part of efflorescence as stated in the company's office - has disappeared. Increasing the strength of the concrete is difficult to assess. Later acquired for the treatment of the blind area around the foundation.
The company selling wholesale in paints, varnish found an interesting stone for me:
Acquired on the sample 1 0.75 liter jar. Lac - Nitro (Solvent 646) dries very quickly. But the acrid smell. Be sure to ventilate the room.
In appearance - slightly yellow transparent liquid, similar in consistency to a vegetable oil.
First of all, I paid a nail on a pebble mosaic in the bath:
Photos from different angles and in different lighting conditions. Live to get the effect of "wet stone" looks much better. Pictures do not convey all the beauty.
Oprobyval on the tile for future tracks and moved to the fence. But I decided to dilute the consistency that would paint a better melt, giving a thick film on the surface (which can flake), and most importantly - to reduce the glossy appearance.
To this mixed varnish into the container two banks of 0.75 liters with the addition of 0.6 liters of solvent 646. I received another bank. As it turned out, to make the semi-mat color and the effect of "wet stone" in the blocks of the fence - this is the best proportion. Look, how to get a trial painted on the fence:
About the cover of concrete and stone surfaces with alkyd impregnation (to protect and produce the effect of "wet stone") to me in the comments in an article the reader wrote. I confirm his words. Impregnation (diluted varnishes with reduced solids) - run.
One could try alkyd glaze for wood - there is also a little dryness. But its price is higher. In my price list (in the company where I work), 1 liter of glaze for wood worth 400 p. Bank of varnish on a stone at a discount cost me 223r. Plus 646 solvent (600 rubles. / 5 l). But I bought it last year.
Acquired an additional 11 cans (all that was at the moment in the company) - should be enough for the entire fence. The larger container was not (the manufacturer has a 3-liter container). Just dilute the solvent and covered below:
Graduated cover one side of the fence. We had to finish with a flashlight on his head, did not want to leave the diluted varnish. About this video removed.
