Learning Project....with pics
Gonna start my first little garage/flooring type project.
My parents want their back porch painted, and they bought the Behr paint....primer....and acid stuff. I'm starting it tommorrow and gonna take pics thru out the project. Doing it just for my personal records and work too...but thought it might be a good post. I will post before pics tommorrow.

For some reason I get the sensation of eating spaghetti with a strange smelling gal.

Funniest thing....I was home during the day awhile back, and my dog started barking at the front door. I look out and it's these guys prussure checking the hydrant. You see where the spray is going.....and where the truck is in the pic. Well picture the truck back about 12 feet......and the idiot turns the water on..........and it soaks the truck, in the window, all over the truck!....... I about died laughing.

My suggestion to you Willey is to NOT use a Behr product on that cement patio... Behr is NOT the product to use for that application (if you want it to last and be durable)
Go with Devoe Coatings... Im sure there is a rep somewhere in your neighborhood... a rep will tell you exactly what product to use and what steps to take... just a suggestion.....
When it comes to cement floors (garage, basment, etc) I will ONLY use Devoe Coatings.... there is not a product on the market that can match them...

This is suppose to be a new product, and using the specs that they call for.....as far as prep, and priming......and gonna take pics thruout, then if it doesn't work like advertised I can see what they have to say.
