so what do we do next well what we're going to do is dump our stain we've got this translucent water-based stain golden wheat is what you picked out so it sounds good I'll cut around the edges with a paintbrush okay and I'll let you do the rolling I'll let you do the fun part so you just roll it right on one yeah yeah just roll it on we just want it real thin and real even okay sounds good like wood stains this stuff is super thin so it pours more like water than paint it's not paint so it's just real real thin yeah just like that yeah uh-huh and just it'll go a long way this supposed to get a handle up to almost 400 square feet oh so it really does go on thin mm-hmm yeah what you're seeing right there is just what we wouldn't end up with this ain't gonna take long at all or II know this seems to be going on pretty quick yeah about how long will it take for this to dry Oh it dries to touch in about an hour and a half and foot traffic after about four okay I see all the people in the neighborhood are gonna want you to come and do their patios oh they are they're gonna be jealous I know it pick up some extra money you know actually this is a pretty easy way to put it on as long as you get it nice and even you also use a pump up sprayer like a garden sprayer oh yeah pretty good we'll be finished pretty soon here I don't know about that other crew I don't know what they're doing over there around back once the stain has dried on the patio there's one last step Lori seemed very pleased with the color of her patio and I really like this type of stain a translucent stain that allows a little bit of the character of the concrete to kind of shine right through but it's about to look a lot better because I have some waterproofing sealer that I just put in a pump up sprayer makes it so easy to apply and it'll give it a little more of a finished look and also add even more protection once you coat an area you back roll it with a roller to even out the finish
