What they say

below, if you're interested in testing them out, um, we'll put it down in the video description. So, now I'm going to get applying my product. And the product does dry fairly fast, so you gota you got to work quickly. I'm not going to coat the whole entire wall. I'm going to just work in sections. So, I'm going to work my way from left to right down this wall. And I'm going to work get my edges done first. Then I'm going to fill it in and then I'm going to use my turf tool to stri it. And you want to work quickly, they say. And this product you want to put it on extremely heavy. So, you don't want to be lighting. This is one coat and you're done. Unlike some of the other metallic finishes from Bero, it's multiple coats. Like the suede is um typically two coats. The metallic paint is typically two coats. But the grit, this is a one coat product. And what you're going to do, you just want to jam it into your tape just like this. So, you want it to get covered all the way. That's why you got to do two rolls of tape. And it's going to be jamming in there. My edges, you want to random roll it. Get it on there really heavy. And this is why Frog tape is so important because you're kind of jamming it in there, forcing it up against your tape and your edges and it would bleed if you didn't have frog tape. That's about as far as I want to go. And then now I'm going to start filling it in with my 9 in roller. Now going to get it on really heavy with my roller. And I want to get it on even. So I'm going to lay it out. Make sure I get the product on even, heavy, and even. So, it's like laying out a wall. I can see I got my product on there nice and even there. So, now I got it on. Going to random roll this before I do my stria effect. So, you can see I'm just random kind of a random arcing motion. Here's my turf tool right here.
