Fleur de lis
To accomplish the design shown in the photo, stain
the concrete with an amber acid stain. Place the reusable
stencil and apply the gel resist over the stencil. Lift the stencil
immediately and
allow the resist
to dry. After the
resist is dry, stain
the concrete a
dark brown/
black. Clean the
residue. Remove
the resist to reveal
the original color
beneath the
stenciled resist.
Ta-dah! It doesn’t
get any easier
than that.
