Guess I'll have to find an alternative sponge roller since I can't find the one you use. Think I'll buy a sheet of backerboard like you did to test my skills and see the results before I do the patio.

It’s been a few years since you posted this and I could Google it but your an expert whereas Google… not so sure about that…what temperature should the concrete be about/between before you paint it?
@ConcreteMystique11 ай бұрын
between 50 and 80 degrees. under 50 will take longer to dry. over 80 can cause bubbles and blistering.

Thanks for the fine video. I am going to try the middle one. I am having trouble finding a good roller. Do you have any suggestions? Have a blessed day.

I recently stained my concrete, two coats of the water base and I apply two coats of the clear sealer. After watching your video, I like the look of the sponge am I able to go over the top of the clearcoat with a coat of sponge paint, and then clearcoat on top of that? Thank you.

Yes you can. I would recommend using a stiff brush to scratch the surface first. Water based sealers don’t re-emulsify. Scratching it will insure a better bond.

The house we moved into has a concrete patio, porch and sidewalk in a light pink color with standard gray concrete trim. We also have a larger concrete pad in the backyard in a terracotta color (it abuts the light pink concrete pad and appears to be a newer pour). All of the concrete is in great shape. Would the sponge-rolled stain provide enough coverage to make all the concrete match, or would one need to apply a second coat? Also, the sidewalk and porch in the front of the house have a design stamped into them and appear to have spots that look like sealer that hasn't been worn off. Do we need to remove the sealer before staining, and does one apply the stain in the same fashion to the stamped concrete? Does this stain also work on brick? Our location is SoCal-LA County. Thank you in advance.

Yes this technique would hide the different pours of concrete and make it all look the same. You would need to remove the existing sealer on the stamped areas first. No this would not be a good idea to apply to brick. It will not bond for long.

Do you finish with a clear sealer to protect? If so, do you use matte or satin, or gloss finish? I have a fairly big concrete patio..2500sq. ft. Any thoughts? Thanks for the great video. WiL

sorry for the late reply. yes I use a clear sealer to finish it. I also add grip to the final coating for slip resistance. I recoat and add grip every 2-3 years to maintain the look. it is very easy to maintain.

@@robertd9850 you don't "need" more sealer. Adding a final sealer coat over it allows for gloss and you can add grip if you are worried about slip resistance.

It's from Texmaster Tools. I believe they have stopped making them since covid started. I hope they start making them again. They are the best!
