Quikrete 13173 Liquid Cement Color, Red, NET 10 FL. OZ.(296 mL)"

Fit for purpose, metering correct concentration essential .

Worked out great for my needs, colors quite a lot of cement

This product makes the brick look a lot classier and more interesting.

This small bottle goes a long way. Another way to look at it is that small splashes stain a long way. Work with latex or nitrile gloves and wear the appropriate clothing. When you first get the botlle(s), the solids of color are settled in the suspending liquid. This color needs to be shaken and shaken and shaken, approximately 30 seconds to suspend the solids into the liquid. At the use concentration Quikrete gives you---1 bottle to two 60-pound or 80-pound bags of grey cement, the color is a light brick red. I mixed this colorant 50 : 50 with Quikrete TerraCotta colorant to match an Italian TerraCotta-colored tile. The match to the Italian TerraCotta was close enough for both my wife and I. I highly recommend if you are going to use this on a large project, place and blend all your shaken colorant in a large container. Mix well. Store. Mix again before using. Now your color will not vary between bottles (because you have a homogeneous color) and your finished product will be uniform for the entire project.

I used one capful diluted in the appropriate amount of water to make 18 molded brick veneers. I would say about 10 cups of quick setting Pre mixed dry bagged concrete from local hardware store. When wet I thought at first it looked as if they would be a bit rust colored. However, when fully dried the result was almost a pinkish terracotta. Not orange at all… I was pleasantly surprised, even-though it didn't result in what I needed but that is ok because it gave a base color that I will be modifying with stains. I would like to see what doubling would result in …. I used the last of my concrete on this batch… I imagine that it would be darker and richer … I bought more concrete and will update if i can.

This is a good product. We are building a patio and this is just the right color to add to the cement.
