Acid-Etching or Acid-Washing
Acid-Etching is an old school, yet effective method involving the use of muriatic acid to etch off the top surface of concrete or top layer and open up the pores of the concrete slab exposing the concrete in greater measure. Acid-etching, though recognized by many, isn't recommended by most manufacturers for concrete coatings or higher solids materials today (grinding & shot blasting are). In addition, the acidic residue must also be neutralized and rinsed thoroughly to avoid contamination or chemical interference with most materials and decorative processes.
