Questions and Answers for BEHR PREMIUM 1 gal. #PFC-48 Aqua Marble Solid Color Flat Interior/Exterior Concrete Stain

A:  Hi Kumkum, thank you for your question. Etching and priming are steps recommended to promote adhesion. Using the stain without properly preparing the surface will lead to premature peeling issues. Have a great day! -Giovanna

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. Our coatings can be cleaned using a pressure-washer. It's hard to determine exactly how long the coating will last because the lifespan of the coating is determined by multiple factors such as exposure to the elements, the amount of use the area gets, and how the product was applied. If you have any other questions about the project, feel free to reach out to us directly, our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. Yes, the Solid-Color Concrete Stain is opaque and will cover the existing spots on your patio, similar to how paint will cover a wall. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Queenofthebhive, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Solid Color Concrete Stain is not recommended to be applied to travertine. If the surface is unpolished, I recommend using a penetrating sealer such as our Premium Protector & Waterproofer No. 980 or Premium Color Enhancing Sealer No. 982 instead. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi LaVelle, thanks for the question. A separate sealer isn't needed after applying the Concrete Garage 1-Part Epoxy. It is a very durable coating all on its own. If you want to add a sheen to the coating, I'd suggest using either our Low-Lustre or Wet-Look Sealer. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi LeVelleG, thank you for your question. When using the Solid Color Concrete Stain, it's best to apply using long, even strokes in the direction of the brushed finish. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi Neal, thank you for your question. Although our Solid Color Concrete Stain doesn't require a sealer, our Wet-Look Sealer No. 985 and Low-Lustre Sealer No. 986 can be applied on top for added protection and more sheen. Have a great day! - Randy

A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. If needed, you can thin the Solid-Color Concrete stain with up to 8 ounces of water per gallon. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi RaeAnne, thanks for the question. Yes, I would recommend priming the exterior brick first before applying the stain. For vertical surfaces such as the exterior of the home, I'd recommend using out Multi-Surface Primer & Sealer # 436 and if the happens to be horizontal surfaces that will be walked on, I'd recommend our Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer #880. Have a great day! -Ronald
