    Q:I used Behr Concrete paint 3 years ago and I would like to use the Behr Solid Concrete stain. I have a large patio and I am trying to prevent stripping it to add the solid stain. Can I clean with degreaser and then prime to add solid stain?

    A:  Hi Trichard981, thank you for your question. The Solid Concrete Stain can be used over a previously painted surface in good condition. You do not need to use a primer, but the surface should be sound, clean, and dry before applying. Also, if the previous finish is glossy, scuff sand the surface to promote adhesion. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

      Q:Last fall I etched, primed, & applied two coats of this stain to my concrete patio. Over winter, small black worms came onto my patio and died. Their bodies absorbed into the stained concrete and cannot be fully removed. Recoat + sealer? Plz advise.

        A:  Hi hankstar, thanks for your question. You do not need to prime your previously stained patio surface, provided there is no peeling/bubbling or bare concrete showing. Just fill any hairline cracks and ensure the surface is clean before applying our Solid Color Concrete Stain. Good luck with your project! -Christina

          Q:I want to re-coat a wall with a cap top again with the Behr solid stain after several years. There are two types of primers you often recommend depending on it being horizontal or vertical. This has both. Should I use conc./masonry primer or BEHR #436

          A:  Hi Anthony, thank you for your question. The Solid Color Concrete Stain can be applied to vertical masonry surfaces once the surface has been primed using the Multi-Surface Primer and Sealer No. 436, as the Concrete Bonding Primer isn't recommended on vertical surfaces. Have a great day! - Randy

            Answer This Question

            A:  Hi AsphaltA, thank you for your question. As it turns out, the Solid Color Concrete Stain isn't recommended for asphalt floors since it's too soft and contains slurry that may cause adhesion problems. Have a great day! - Randy

              A:  Hello, thank you for your question. New concrete will need to be etched if it is not porous. The concrete should be rough and porous and should feel like 150-grit sandpaper when it is ready. Have a great day!
