What happens here

After the first coat of stain and sealant has dried, assess the deck for any 'bare spots' or areas requiring additional coverage. If the deck has never been stained before, or if you're doing a significant color change, a second full coat of stain will likely be needed. For areas with bare spots from previous wear (like those caused by snow), apply a second coat to those specific areas to even out the color. Continue rolling and brushing as needed until the entire surface has a uniform color and appearance. In climates like Idaho with extreme hot and cold temperatures, re-treatment is typically required every 2-3 years for both concrete and wood decks to maintain their appearance and protection.

Goal: Achieve uniform color and ensure long-term durability

joint sealant some people might ask how many coats do you typically apply if this has never been stained before I'm going to apply two coats of stain and I'll be finished this has already been coated this is three years ago it was coated so just one coat or the same color if you're doing a color change you're probably going to have to do two coats I like sealing the joints and cracks too to keep bugs keep dirt moisture out to keep it from continuing to crack so I'm just cutting in right along the pool deck here I'm using a paint life Brook brush right here it's a Dupont filament tynax and Oreo brush just the right amount of stiffness to do these cut ends and holds the stain very well perfect cut ends right along this Edge you gotta have a brush that's gonna hold the stain and not drip it everywhere and then but also that's stiff enough to give you a nice clean line where you're doing your cut in especially along this pool deck these holders for the pool cover we don't want to paint paint over them because they're threaded you know they thread in and out so once again you're just all you're trying to do is add color to this concrete you're not trying to create a thick top coat so I don't load up very much in my ruler in my roller there's a lot of products out there there's products that actually if you wanted your pool deck to be a dark collar they have products I don't um the temperature the pool deck will be like 30 degrees cooler I believe I think it's somewhere around 30 degrees I think it's called cool deck I've used it a few times this product holds up pretty well and the climate once again it's pretty typical every three years any type of even wood deck wood decks you know solid color stains they fade pretty fast you know up here in our climate because of the extreme temperatures you know about every three years you even got to do wood decks you know once again typically there's snow sitting on them for long periods of time freezing temperatures super hot temperatures and let's just make the products not last nearly as long one of the cool things about this stain that I use color top agency solid color stain is it's very forgiving and it does not leave lap marks so you don't have to worry about laying out you just get your color on and it covers well absorbs well and it doesn't leave lap marks it's pretty awesome stuff view stuff in the past that leaves roller marks trailing marks lap marks real Annoying this stuff is amazing there are some spots on…
