My wife and I are thinking of doing this to our back patio. I was a little skeptical about using this product based on some of the reviews I've seen. However, your DIY video really lays the application process out. Much appreciated.
Your video is the BEST! I paint, tile, etc. Putting down the first coat on driveway by stippling with a synthetic brush. I will be applying it by 4” brush over the whole driveway. Going on great! I did notice that you can NoT put it down like paint. The epoxy goes down great with this method. I did a 6” black Decker Over border as it will not get driven on. Looks sharp against the grey & defines the edge nicely. I am applying it in roughly 3’ x 3’ sections, overlapping. It does dry fast. Using knee pads is helpful!
Driveway is 10’ x 66’, 1970’s. Have two 5 gal. I called Behr & she said nothing is needed to help bond. Goes over Quikrete crack seal nice. I have zero waste! I think one 5 gallon will cover all on first coat. Second coat goes on smoother as first one fills in the small spaces.
Thank you! & best of luck to those who want to try it.
Thank you for the helpful video. My experience was: 1. The product stayed mixed pretty well over the 2 weeks between purchase and application. No real settling of particles. I could scoop straight from can. 3. Your tip of stippling with a brush was the key to my success. 3. Roller did not work well for me because I was doing stairs and they had slight dips in the middle. Ended up using only brush. 4. Store the product upside down between purchase and use although for me wasn’t necessary.
Great video Ty for your tips. About to attempt to conquer this today. Took me days after days to prep concrete as it had awful ugly chipped paint from previous tenants.
Thanks for this video. I’m getting ready to apply Granite Grip to a patio and will definitely use your method for application. Reading reviews I think what messes up some with this is they try to do too much too fast. Doing small sections at a time as you are doing allows you to observe quality control.

Thank you very helpful
This is the best advice ever!! We applied granite grip a few years ago and wasted so much money and paint. Did a new application today and this scoop method is a game changer.
Glad I could help.
I applied using a squeegee, brush, and roller. The squeegee worked well. I would pour product and spread with squeegee, then go over with roller. Seemed to make the product go further.
Hi there, I did my front walk about 4 years ago and needs redoing (heavy traffic and stained). Can you just apply it again with roller and brush?
After a good cleaning yes.
Do you think this could be applied over a different existing coating after thorough power washing?
Yes, best if old coating is attached well.
Does it require a smoother concrete surface or can be applied on rough concrete surface?
It will adhere better to a rough surface, just make sure it is clean.
Great job on the video. What was your process to prep?
Pressure washing only because it was already painted. My front porch was bare cement where I acid etched that to prep.
@@detroitdiygreat thank you!
@@detroitdiyI have a concrete patio that is a combo of mostly paint and in some spots bare concrete, where the paint was flaking up after pressure washing I Can I apply this product over this, or do I need a primer first or best not to apply anything
If the remaining paint is secure, you can put granite grip over the top.
Can you let me know what the name is of the color you chose?
Just Grey No.650. Thanks for watching.
Got the same by choice, didnt know yours was the same :) @@detroitdiy
Yeah I made that mistake on pouring mine right now and it came out blotchy and clumpy 😢 and now I just have to wait for it to Dry inside my house😅 I wish I had seen this video before I did this 😫😵💫
Does it come in various colors?
Yes, however options are limited.
I have not been able to find this product!
Home Depot normally has it in stock.
Did you put on muriatic acid on concrete?
No, this surface was already painted. When I did my front porch I used muriatic acid because the cement was bare. Etching the bare cement it important and will prevent peeling.
Want to demo ? Ok i can ❤
