What happens here

When applying solid color stain to brick or masonry, such as a garden wall, the most effective method involves spraying the product onto the surface. Immediately after spraying, use a brush or roller (back-brushing or back-rolling) to push the stain deeply into the pores, pinholes, and all the intricate angles of the brick. This two-step approach ensures thorough absorption and opaque, uniform coloring. Due to the highly porous and irregular nature of brick, anticipate using a considerably larger quantity of stain – potentially three times more than you would for a smoother surface like siding – especially when aiming for a significant color change (e.g., from red to white). This meticulous application is crucial for achieving a deep, long-lasting color that maintains the brick's natural appearance.

Goal: Learn the recommended method for applying solid color stains to brick and masonry, focusing on efficient coverage and proper absorption.
