    Thank you for your video. The same thing happened to me! Did my 2 car garage and followed all the instructions. I used 3, 5 gallon buckets But still had roller marks!!!
    I called and they were great and are sending me more. I will try the sprayer this time! Thank you for the information!

    A non-uniform appearance in the final dried application seems to be a very common complaint with this product. It appears that the roller application is not the best way to apply it. Rather the texture sprayer produces a more even finished appearance. Behr's solid color concrete stain mixed with the Rustoleum non-skid additive produces a very even final finish. It goes on extremely easily and doesn't require extensive prep work other than assuring the surface is clean as possible and dry.

    4mm texture sprayer is the only other application method is you’re not using the 1/4” nap adhesive roller. Working in 4’x4’ sections makes it less overwhelming, with RANDOM roller strokes. Important to note that unlike floor paints, epoxy, or stains where you see that immediate hide in the first coat of product, with GG you do not. The first coat will look very uneven and not terribly attractive, but the product builds on itself, and in most cases 2-3 coats will leave a film as seen in the brochure. I agree with your point that Behr has exceptional customer service.

      I spread it using a 6 inch plastic putty knife in a thin layer then rolled it out. It made it so much easier since it was more uniform.

    Thank you, Terry, for a great explanation and advice. I wish I had done my research before I had contractor use product on Garage floor. I'm at the three coat stage and it looks awful; application was difficult and time consuming. Behr customer service was very helpful, as you reported, and is refunding 50% of my purchase price for the 18 gallons it took to do the job. BUT I was advised that this product IS NOT for garage floors subject to automobile use. I cannot recommend this product to anyone. There has to be a better alternative. I'm now looking for a coating to successfully cover this that doesn't require stripping, and re-etching. This has turned out to be a VERY expensive project and it's not finished yet.

      I wish I could give you some better news, the truth is, you will have to remove the Granite Grip before applying another product. The heat from your tires will peel the Granite Grip over the next several months as you drive on it, regardless of what you try to go over it with. It takes several weeks before the Granite Grip cures, I suggest you hire a contractor, who is knowledgeable of how to remove it with a pressure washer with a zero orbital nozzle.

    Pressure washing, acid washing and even sand blasting is needed in the prep work and is best to use a professional then to deal with unpleasant situations- but that's how the multi-tasker learns & becomes a master at many things.
    Good video.

    I know this was years ago now but without a doubt the glued down carpet was the majority of the problem. Concrete is normally a porous product but the degree of that depends on how polished it was when originally finished and any products applied afterwards. Normally the acid is enough to etch the smoothness off the surface to get good absorption and bonding. That carpet glue would have soaked into the concrete sealing the pours and it’s highly unlikely the acid wash would have removed enough of the penetrated glue to make for a good bonding surface. A lot of these products work but they are very susceptible to failure on any surface that’s less than perfect or not prepped properly.

    I used this in my bathroom and did three coats hand brushed it is important to work in the grit to merge the fibers or it will look uneven cut all corners start in room work your way out I did not like the uneven application of the rollers whatsoever and yes I used a sleeve for textured products I’ve painted professionally this is my personal preference

  • @iluvlexii4eva
    @iluvlexii4eva 7 лет назад +4

    It's funny, because my dad didn't do any prep work other then give the steps a good wash with a hise and hard brush. It was painted about 2.5 years ago. Its the the front steps to a 2 family home, so lots of traffic and hasn't had a problem since. I guess sometimes you just get lucky. But thanks for the video, I guess if I run into any problems I won't use the roller like indicated on the can.

    • @millroyboy07
      @millroyboy07 6 лет назад +2

      It's unlikely that "luck" played any part in the situation you mentioned. The climate during the time of application, preparation techniques used, and tools used to apply are of greater importance than any intangible "force".
      The owner of the video performed his work in Florida; a place well known to have issues with chemical adherence. So many factors to consider: Humidity, due point, dry time during the preparation process, and proper sealing techniques, to mention a few. Also, he used a pneumatic texture hopper for paint, which aerates the chemicals that pass through it. When paint is aerated, its ability to bond to the work surface is compromised. Thus, he got de-lamination almost immediately after his application.

    I did a 20 x 15 patio. It cost me 450$. Took me 3 days to prep exactly how they required. It’s been 1yr and 3month and it’s chipping everywhere. Now I’m in the process of scrapping it all off. After the cost of materials and my time I would have been better off having the patio epoxy Coated. It looks nice the first week but any liquid will leave a stain. Any liquid! My son dropped a juice box and I immediately hosed the patio off and when it dried it left a discoloration. It was only apple juice. For the cost of this product it should last way longer then a year and be able to hold off simple liquids from staining.

    This paint it too expensive for the little coverage area.
    I used Interior/Exterior Porch and Patio Floor Paint and put some rustoleum anti slip additive into it.
    At 150 square feet, I was able to use 1 can for 2 coats.
    They should sell this granite by itself.

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  6 лет назад +1

      I just did a pool deck a couple month back that took 3 coats to cover. You might as well figure $4.00 per square foot in material cost for good coverage. Thanks for your comments.

    I wonder if the people getting bad results used a regular 1/4 nap roller or a 1/4 inch nap ADHESIVE roller per the product instructions?

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  2 года назад

      Several comments on this thread where they used the prescribed method and got the same results as I did. If you use their method, it is a very labor intensive project... I sprayed through a hopper and the floor is still holding up after 4 years with minimal defects.

    • @johnpitts2738
      @johnpitts2738 2 года назад

      @@MartinBackGroup Well, it’s possible that someone could use a regular 1/4 inch nap roller and think they’re using the prescribed method. It’s interesting that the Home Depot 1/4 inch adhesive roller gets 4.6 stars and the comments indicate that most of the reviewers used it to put down granite grip.

    • @MartinBackGroup

      If it's just spatters of Granit Grip, it typically just levels out. If it's another type of paint, it can be a pain to clean it off.

    Hey good info, hows this product holding up?

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  6 лет назад +2

      It's holding up quiet well. We have it on our screened porch, and use a pressure washer to clean it throughout the year. Like I said in the video, I like the product but using the adhesive roller to apply makes it labor intensive. Use a texture sprayer or the hopper to apply, you will like the results. Thank you for asking.

  • @millroyboy07
    @millroyboy07 6 лет назад +4

    I'm not a rep for this product but I have a lot of experience with paint applications and a relatively high aptitude for construction practices. I'm wondering if you took into account the relative humidity in a place so close to a large body of water. Humidity-- especially humidity with high levels of sodium--can have a negative effect before, during, and after paint application.
    Also, I feel as though using a texture hopper is unlikely to yield the best results because the hoppers "aerate" the chemicals that pass through them, giving way to a lack of adherence to the bonding surface. If you were forced to use a sprayer, an airless sprayer would be the best bet, followed by a back-roll to ensure a proper bond to the work surface.
    As I said, I'm not a rep nor have I used the product, but I have used similar products from other manufacturers with little to no problems after the job was finished.

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  6 лет назад +1

      The product worked great using the hopper and the finish was perfect for the covered porch and wet feet coming from the pool deck. The paint is so thick, you can't use an airless, you would have to use a texture gun or the hopper. As I said in the video, I like the product, the look and the finish... If someone chooses this product, make sure you understand the amount of labor needed to do it manually. My suggestion would be to hire a professional who has experience with this product. Thanks for your comments!

    • @millroyboy07
      @millroyboy07 6 лет назад

      You can pretty much put anything through an airless paint sprayer as long as the correct tip is being used. Commercial drywall mudders often use ultra lightweight joint compound through their sprayers to achieve a perfect skim coat.

    • @gregokonski546
      @gregokonski546 6 лет назад

      Thesaurus, airless sprayer cannot be used for this product, it can only be sprayed through a 4mm texture hopper rig. Your comments regarding the atmospheric conditions however are “dead on.”

    I was ready to take the 5gal bucket of Granite Grip back until I saw time 2:43 of this video that shows a yellow coating on the concrete that Granite Grip wouldn’t adhere to...hmmm, poor prep technique? Couple that with the fact he used a sprayer to lay it down tells me he didn’t read and follow the directions to the letter. Many videos on RUclips showing People applying product and right off the bat you can see they didn’t follow directions. Wrong roller type, failure to properly prepare concrete, etc. I applied on back patio, part covered part full sun. 13x24. Used entire 5 gallons. Concrete previously stained with Behr stain. Applied in September 2018 not too far from Gainesville, FL (50 miles NE). Looks great, holding up great. Guess that goes to show you, even experienced contractors need to read and follow directions to the letter in order to achieve good results.

  • @linko38

    I was all set to do my driveway with this product. after reading comments I am staying far away from this stuff! Can anyone recommend a driveway paint with some texture?

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  7 лет назад +1

      I would suggest a stamped concrete.. You have to take into consideration the heat from your tires and the Granite Grip would not work. There are garage paint/stain but if you want a real wow appeal to your driveway, stamped concrete is the way to go! Thanks for your comments and good luck with your project.

    • @linko38

    • @MartinBackGroup

      Granite Grip was not designed for driveways. You need a product that is specifically designed for the heat transfer related to the tires. Check with a local paint supplier and ask specifically for a driveway stain or paint.

  • @MrCustomConcrete
    @MrCustomConcrete 8 лет назад +1

    what's the yellow stuff in the pictures, is that the carpet glue? or is that the color of the product on the underside after it dried?
    My Recommendation is to not scrape glue, you still have glue in the concrete pours, if the concrete pours are clogged with glue you won't get a bond, use a 7 inch hand grinder and get 2 grinding wheels for it, one with teeth to Rip the glue off, and the other needs to be a diamond cup wheel to smooth it out and shave off the top layer of concrete, trust me after doing it like this thete will be nothing left on that concrete that could be a bond breaker, then you wanna pressure wash....now your concrete is ready!

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  8 лет назад +2

      The yellow stuff is from when the surface had been painted/stained, way before we purchased the home. The glue came up after the acid wash and the zero orbital pressure washing. The Granite Grip pulled what ever paint/stain residue was still remaining in the concrete. The Granite Grip takes a while to cure and the pealed areas had not sealed to the floor when the tape was pulled, (even after cutting with a utility knife). I see you do concrete, I would ask the home owner to contact you for stripping concrete and finishing the surface before the painter preps and paints. Some jobs should be left with the professional. Thank you for your comments.

    I just went through 3 gallons to cover a 10x8 patio and the colors are uneven and splotchy - very disappointed. I meticulously prepped, etched, and used an adhesive roller and still got poor results with 2 coats.

    • @MartinBackGroup
      @MartinBackGroup  6 лет назад

      As I recommended in the video, using the texture hopper gun gave me the best results on my personal porch floor and a pool deck I did a couple months back. 2 coats on fresh concrete will offer a fair finish, 3 coats will offer a good finish and you might as well figure $4.00 per square foot material cost when using this product. Thank you for your comments.

    I love it when company reps and over the counter sales associates, speak out on my video of how and why I am so wrong about their product and how I am such a horrible contractor. Allow me to inform my viewers of my many years of experience in the building trades as a superintendent and general contractor. Company reps and over the counters sales people at big box stores, change as often as last years fashions. They are in the business of sales and I have a long history of reps and sales personnel bombast me because I speak out about products and their performance. Let me share a few class action lawsuits from product highly recommended by company reps and over the counter sales associates;
    Class action suit against Behr and Home Depot www.girardgibbs.com/behr-deckover-paint-lawsuit/
    Masonite siding suit and settlement www.wsj.com/articles/SB868927117551601000

      I'm not second-guessing the self-assessment of your experience in construction practices. However, from my experience, many people in management positions--across the entire spectrum of the business world as a whole--often have a blind-spot for intricate techniques used in specific professions such as flooring and paint applications.
      There are so many factors to consider when doing exterior work that, unless you practice the methods day-in and day-out, it's easy to skip a vital step in the process. Incidentally overlooking steps in established methods can compromise the integrity of the entire job. It's best to swallow your pride and call a professional tradesmen whose trained in that specific area of expertise. This will alleviate any issues that arise by transferring responsibility and accountability to the sub-contractor.

      Yup you sure are right. I'm a professional painter and I 100% agree with these sales reps and clueless people that work at the stores that have never used any of the stuff they're selling they sell it to these poor homeowners that are trying to save money and do some stuff their self and even contractors. Concrete stain for example they will look you dead in the face and tell you that the latex will last longer and perform better. Try asking these reps if they are willing to warranty material and labor, if you follow the steps exactly. NOPE!!!! But why not youre telling me how good it works but I gotta deal with the customer and work for free when it doesn't. S.W.P. is the worst
