Applying Epoxy. First step acid etching the concrete. Part 1.
What happens here
After the muriatic acid has completed its etching action and the yellow color has faded, use a water hose to rinse the floor. It is crucial to dilute the acid as you rinse and move the entire solution towards the front of the garage, away from the driveway. This prevents the undiluted acid from etching and discoloring the driveway, especially if it is made of brick pavers.
Goal: Dilute and remove the active muriatic acid from the floor, preventing damage to the driveway.
