Has anyone used these concrete stains?

Has anyone used the H&C line of concrete stains by Sherwin Williams? Are they easy to work with and durable?

Thanks - Chris

I have used them a few times It goes on easy. You need to etch the concrete first. Make sure you have good ventelation, they are strong. It almost put me down the first time we used it.

Thanks for the reply Lenny. Did you seal the concrete after staining?

Thanks

I've used it for my own home.Didn't ecth it though just used high pressure to wash the cement with a degreaser.I love the stuff.It will sweat for a couple of months for some reason though and when it does it gets a little slick.I didn;t use the shark grip that they sell in it.

I think it beats paint hands down because it actually stains the concrete and the concrete has to wear down for it to start fading in high traffic areas and it won't run if the concrete gets chipped like paint.
