What happens here

Prepare your airless sprayer by loading it with the concrete stain. For brick, use a low-pressure setting and a 208 fine-finish tip to minimize overspray and dust. If you don't have an airless sprayer, you can use a brush and roller, though it will take longer. The strategy is to have one person spray the stain and another person immediately follow with back-brushing and back-rolling to work the stain into the porous brick surface.

Goal: Get the airless sprayer ready for application with appropriate settings for brick.

What they say

Hide

back brush and back roll. Through this color being extremely light, this is a light color going over some really dark brick. We're just going to spray a nice thin coat over it first cuz it's going to take multiple coats. We won't back rush or back roll our first coat. We're just going to spray it. So, we're just getting that sprayed real quick. If you are using a sprayer, it definitely is a good idea to use a mask. We're not using masks cuz we're trying to explain things in the video, but make sure you wear a respirator.
