Everbuild PMTBUFF1 Powder Mortar Tone Buff 1kg

I admit I didn't buy this off Amazon as it's too expensive but have bought it elsewhere online. I've gone through around 40+ tubs of it so far for an ongoing patio project I started since early 2018. I've created my own slabs and cobbles using this stuff to colour the concrete mix. I cannot fault it. The colour intensity depends on your mix. I've gone for a milder sandstone tone so a tub mixes approx 2-3 full concrete mixers full of ballast/cement on a 5/1 ratio. It's easy to use, you simply measure out and add to your dry mix before adding water. It works great and I've never had issues with it. I've seen a few comments on here about this stuff not being very good but they are completely wrong. No, I'm not from Everbuild or paid to write this review but simply someone who's used this product for over a year without any issues.

Its easy to use and colours well. I bought 20 Kg bags of ballast so it was simple to weigh the powder on kitchen scales and keep the colour strength the same over each mix. It would be a bit expensive if you needed to colour a lot of concrete though. Some comments on here regarding the colour and yes it does dry a horrible green colour but give it time and as the concrete cures fully over a few weeks the true shade comes out.

Colour doesnt seem very strong. Otherwise easy enough to use. Except that working out the right amount to use in a mix is time consuming. Would be better if the quoted a volume ratio rather than a weight, since the ingredients for small batches of mortar etc are mixed by volume not weight.

Great colour, not exactly like on my wall previously but only because to match the mortar you have to pay. Need to be analysed how much sand is in it. So I decided to do it repointing myself and in fairness for the first time trying repointing is great job. In overall very happy with outcome.

I use this product to colour the cement, then stamp the wet cement with a pattern maker.
