What happens here

As you apply the stain using the roller, ensure you are laying down a very thin, even coat. The stain is formulated to be thin and provide excellent coverage even in light applications. The objective is to achieve good coverage without applying too much product, which could fill in the concrete's natural profile and make the surface slick. Maintaining the concrete's rough texture is essential for preserving the anti-slip properties provided by the additive.

Goal: Achieve uniform stain coverage while preserving the concrete's non-slip texture.

What they say

So, when you're applying the stain, the stain is really thin and you just want to apply a really thin coat. You're not trying to apply a thick coat, just a thin coat. It covers really well. And the whole idea is just to get a nice thin coat on for coverage. You don't want to eliminate the profile of the concrete and make the concrete slick. You want to keep that concrete rough. So, you don't want to put on the product too thick.
