What's this?

Staining concrete porch update.

Did the deed yesterday. Lots of tape and plastic wrapping. It took me a little bit to get my procedure in place but the one I liked the most is to do the edges with a small roller, use a spray can in the middle parts and then backroll it all with a big roller. It went on pretty evenly and I'm pleased with the look.

I want to do another coat of it but the wife does not. I'll probably end up sealing it sometime this week.

Yeah it's semi-transparent stain so I knew it wouldn't cover some of it -- ElbertoHokie 08/10/2020 09:59AM

That second coat will prevent the uneven first coat -- PhotoHokieNC 08/10/2020 11:16AM

Actually, uneven (if consistently uneven) looks more natural. -- 48zip 08/10/2020 12:52PM
