Tips for Riverstone and Weathered Wood

For a better chance at achieving the lighter grey or medium grey, do not dilute them. (Use them straight) Also, neutralize it and wash it down after it has completely dried and sit usually just 1 to 4 hours. To achieve darker greys and/or browns, let it sit longer, up to 24 hours. Also: Weathered Wood tends to be slightly darker and/or have more browns than Riverstone. Doing a small test spot, prior to doing the entire area, is strongly suggested.
