High End Texture Staining
The instructions below are used for Stone, Flagstone, Tile, and Wood Plank
Step 1
Pressure Wash
Prep the deck by using an advised 3500 PSI pressure washer. Surface cleaning is 60% of a stain job and is the most important part, so make sure to do this step thoroughly for better results.
Step 2
Scratch Coat
Mix 2 gallons of Acrylic Addiditive with one 50lb of Aggregate using an egg-style mixing blade drill. Keep the drill low in the mixing bucket to get a smooth texture. Trowel a 1/16 to an 1/8 inch thick of scratch coat on the whole surface using a rounded or magic trowel, or a flex smoother.
Step 3
Trowel Texture
Mix or acquire your desired choice of Texture Coat Mix. Apply texture coat to the whole surface using the required tools necessary for your texture coat since each one is different. Smooth down the surface so that it is walkable with bare feet.
Step 4
Stain
Shake or Mix your stain base & stain concentrate and then spray the whole floor over with it. If you want to add highlight colors to your stain concentrate color, wait until the concentrate dries first. Afterwards, get a water mist bottle spray and your highlight color and while misting your surface with water, apply your highlight color at the same time.
Step 5
Roll/Spray Clear Sealer of Choice
Apply the Sealer that is needed for the Texture Coat you chose to the whole surface, wait until it dries, and then enjoy your new stained floor!
