Ancient bricks with their hands. Cheap and cheerful.

After the purchase and delivery of bricks made on the construction site, you can start giving products of different colors.

As promised in the previous article, I will tell about how aging brick by applying colored impregnation.

impregnation methods:

  • using a spray gun;
  • using brush / roll;
  • dipping into the composition.
A more preferred method of impregnating - dipping, as by immersion in the impregnating brick - there complete filling of micropores products, with consumption and slightly increased, but you get the quality of many years. When using a spray gun or brush - a little less consumption, but also the depth of impregnation products remains small.

For impregnation is required:

  1. Prepare a container, which is the size required for staining the verge of products (I would take plastic containers, cut along the seam adhesions in their production).
  2. Prepare a brick. The product must be dry!
  3. Pour the product and dilute in the desired ratio (with permission of the manufacturer). Stir.
  4. Prepare the place where the products are stored for later drying. It is important not to pile up bricks in the brick, since freshly impregnation - wears.

  5. Dipping brick to a depth required for color depending on the depth of the joint laying.
  6. Withstand brick composed of about 2-3 seconds.
  7. Place the soaked side up on the prepared place for drying. Drying takes place for 15 minutes.
  8. Similar actions to produce every element involved in the masonry.

From practice, 8000 brick was painted for 3 weeks. But believe me - it's worth it! For painting different shades - use multiple containers.

Risks and experiment, and the result will surprise you!
