Where to get concrete supplies

Q. Hi, Where do I get concrete stains and colours? I would like to colour the outside of some concrete ornaments to make them look old or rusty but I do not know where to get them.

A. Concrete stains are sold at a concrete supply store. You'll find all kinds of concrete construction products at these stores including wire mesh, rebar, concrete forms, color for concrete and concrete stains.

If you don't know where your local concrete supply store is, look under CONCRETE in the yellow pages of your phone book. They may be listed here or you could call a local concrete contractor and ask him where he buys his supplies.

Another option is ordering them online. Concrete Solutions sells concrete stain and concrete dye online and will ship it to your house.
