Marvin,

Can I ask a favor? (Well, duh, I CAN ask - more to the point will you CONSIDER doing a favor?)

When you posted your three pictures, I see them side by side, which means I have to scroll (with the scroll bar, ie pain in the a$$) to read each long post.

If you could place your pictures vertically one on TOP of each other, then I need only use my mouse's scroll wheel (much simpler).

You COULD actually go back and edit that second post and place the pictures vertically.

Thanks, I have a feeling others would appreciate it also.

-Bill

After lunch I am gonna go back and get a coat of primer on, after the water dries up. And I will post a few pics of it primed.



LMAO..........Was just reading the can of bonding primer!.........It dries clear......so I don't need to take a pic of this step......lol...just use the same one again.....

Just kiddin.....It goes on milky, and dries clear...so I can snap a pic before it dries.

You know the feeling you get when you take a drink of your Coke you just got from Wendy's.........only to realize they gave you sweet tea! Well that how I feel now......I thought they were getting the solid stain not the semi transparent. Had to explain the difference on the way it was gonna look when I was done. I think this will look better than the solid stain. We will see.

Still waiting for the water to evaporate.....kinna like watching paint dry!

DAMN !!! You are all correct. Viewing now with my Firefox and they stack vertical - much better. Thanks

Don't understand why not with Opera

There are TONS of products that are better... I know at least 20 companies including us that can beat Devoe's best when it comes to concrete.

However, if you're going to limit yourself to one company... Devoe is WAY better than SW.

I will take some pics of my masterpiece tommorrow when I go back and fix it as best I can...........

Turned out horrible..........Way to big an area to keep a wet edge, and material was so thin it was hard to keep the lines from showing.

I am gonna go and try to rag it and see if I can make it look any better. I think I can make it look good this way......just gonna be alot of work. If it doesn't look right we are just gonna get the solid stain and coat it.

Well the ragging didn't do a thing!

Gonna get the solid stain and coat it, and that will take care of the bad job I did with the transparent stain. That's some tough material to work with rolling. If I had to do this size porch with this stuff.......you have to use a sprayer and just spray a even coat on. About impossible to roll. Kind of embarassed to even put the pics up of what it looks like.......but I know what I know for painting for 14 years..................and I can only do what I can do. Here is a pic of the first coat of stain still wet. And I will snap a pic tommorrow of what the second coat looks like.

Got called back to work after my 2 week vacation, so I haven't had time to get to this project. But I got a coat of solid stain on today.

I can't believe how bad the transparent stain turned out.

Anyway here are some pics of the messed up job, and then ones of how I fixxed the problem.
