Three small test batches should be made. Depending on the percentage of the total weight. You'll need a scale for this. Make thin smear samples of each in a board and carry them around in different lighting scenarios. Then zero in on one of them. There are significant aesthetic differences, and you might be surprised by which one looks the best.
Sorry, but this will have to be mixed into new cement.
I'm not sure because I mixed it with a variety of concrete types. The dye mixed well in all of them because it was water-based. I mixed the concrete in after adding the dye to the water. I didn't mind if the tile colors differed slightly, so I used a measuring cup instead of scales. I sanded the tiles and rinsed them thoroughly with water, but the color did not change. I hope this has been of assistance.
Only if you're working with new clay.

As I was skim coating my countertops with concrete, I tried to use this. I had my heart set on a dark black counter. It never got much lighter than dark gray, no matter how much of it I used. Furthermore, if you get wet, dyed concrete on ANYTHING in the vicinity of where you're working, the dye will seep in and stain walls, counters, and other surfaces; the dye also releases into the air when you sand, and when you try to wipe said dust off the walls/counters, it will stain again. br>br>In our kitchen, the counters were the last thing we needed to do. I had to completely repaint the kitchen and touch up the cabinets because of the black stains all over the place until we used this product, at which point I had to completely repaint the kitchen and touch up the cabinets. Even so, I had to re-enter the information. do the counters, which aren't even close to being "deep black. ".
Simple to work with. Some say it's darker. A good alternative to Carbon Black. Conspec carbon black and deep black were the two colors I used. It's more difficult to come across true carbon black. For me, Conspec has always delivered. It produces a level of black that is comparable to that of concrete. It has less wash out than carbon black, but the color difference is very slight. I used a diamond pad with a 1000 or 2000 grit to polish my concrete. Despite all of the washing steps, it's still quite black. If you polish the cement, you'll expose tiny bits of rock and sand, which will lighten the average, but the cement itself looks like a night sky. Before adding water, mix this in with your dry ingredients as thoroughly as possible. This way, you might be able to create a ready-to-use mix. Put one on! I use two types of rock and two types of sand in one of my projects. 0. 5% cement 05 superplasticizer and a small amount of 0. 1 Check for deep black (but make sure to read the labels and directions). ) I've done it so many times that I just eyeball it and don't use a measuring tape. You'll get gray if you use too little, so make a small test batch first.
The majority of store-bought black grout is a dark gray rather than a true black. When pouring or mixing, wear gloves and take a deep breath.
I was on the verge of being swallowed up by the abyss. My concrete sculpture had the appearance of a black hole. I don't believe it's possible to make it any darker!.
It appeals to me. The room is extremely dim. As the water level rises, the darkening becomes more pronounced. I'm going to use it to make two-dimensional art. It's simple to use and comes in a variety of colors. I'll be ordering more in the future.
For my mosaics, I use this to color already black powdered grout. It's the best deep, deep black ever, whereas regular black grout dries to a dark gray color.
This stuff goes a long way with just a little bit of it.
