way? Also what kind of prep will it need to remove the current water-based stain

indoors, after the problems began being noticed)?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>We just used a single application of <A
href="http://www.earthpaint.net/product_rainforest_more_info.php">Earth Paint
Rainforest</A> (linseed oil, pine resin, bees wax, and citrus solvent) on a
slab. We had it tinted with 200% of the normal amount of pigment that
would be normally be used. We didn't do any concrete prep or use any
additional sealers. We also scored the slab with a 4' grid pattern and
grouted the joints. It has a nice matte leather look and gets a lot of
compliments. A lot of people ask if it's some kind of stone.

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">All the jobs I have been involved in we
have only used a sealer once, and it was in a commercial setting. Too shiny,
for my personal taste.
<DIV>With wax, the floors are matte more looking and grow more
beautiful by the year and take on their own patina. One caveat, the
first two weeks, the floors are a little slippery, but after that, no
worries.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV>
