Apply Initial Coat of Concrete Stain

deck that doesn't need any additives so I'm just rolling right along using a three inch Premier white woven roller and I'm just applying a really thin coat I don't want a heavy coat I'm not trying to create a thick top coat I'm trying to just color my concrete I'm doing it the same color that was previously which is artesian tan or Artisan tan however you want to pronounce it it's one of the reasons why I really like this product is it's really forgiving doesn't show lap marks um when you're applying it so you don't have to worry about having a proper layout which is really nice you can just roll it on you know in random directions you're just trying to get a nice good thin coat on if I see any heavy edges and stuff as my roller empties out I'm just going to go back and hit those spots to eliminate any heavy edges that my roller May the edge of my roller may leave I do get people asking you know how come I'm using a pan when doing something like this I'm really comfortable using a pan you can use a five gallon bucket but I like a pan because I could easily slide it around it's easy to load up my roller and I use a nine inch roller not an 18 because I got a lot of different things I got to work around and so a nine inch roller just works best for me if you had huge large open areas you can use an 18 inch roller with an 18 inch pan and it may be faster for you but I'm comfortable using a nine inch once again this is a premier white woven roller and that won't shed and leave lints at all I do keep uh you know Milwaukee blower handy when I'm doing decks just to keep if leaves fall anything Falls ants bugs I just keep I blow it off initially and then then I might blow it off again as I'm going
