Can this be used on existing pool deck that currently has an orange peel type texture? Best way to prep this type texture? What does the final product texture looks like? Great video
We had Professional painters prep 300sq ft of concrete deck around our pool according to instructions including Muratic acid etching to a very clean surface, applied thin 1st Coat Granite Grip as base coat allowed 24 hrs to dry as we were applying product in Texas and morning shade was best for application. Following manufacturer's warning not to apply in direct sunlight or above 90 degrees. Second coat of Granite grip applied as video instruction did not cover, leaving unavoidable roller marks. Five different painters had a go at rolling, and after 24 hours determined the sand aggregate within the product was not homogenous and was not spreading evenly. 5 Gal covered 2 coats of 300 Sq ft. We bought 2 more gallons and applied the third coat with another 1/4 adhesive roller, still upon drying we have roller marks, hi-low aggregate, uneven areas visible. Another UA-cam DIY guy posted same experience and said absolutely need to spray the 3rd coat, probably spraying the 2nd coat would be advantageous as well. Our painter concluded it is the product, not the rolling technique, if you are having issues on a large area, switch to a sprayer, as this video suggests, but does not emphasize. We are happy overall as the product appears durable and bonded well. Good luck guys.
Great question. If the concrete isn't porous, we still recommend etching. To do a porosity test, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the floor. If it gets absorbed fairly quickly, you may skip etching since your concrete is already rough. We hope this helps.
So what happens if it rains the next day or out of nowhere that day ? I live in Florida and one second is 95 degrees sunny beautiful day and then the world its ending outside that even the weather guy gets surprised.
I applied this material on a concrete patio and know the owner is telling me that the edges are peeling off. What do you recommend I do in that situation? I sanded the concrete, then I power wash just to be on the safe side but still peeling.

Do you think I can "Hide" crack repair with this? When I patch up cracks with filler, the filler is never the same color and you can tell there was a crack there. Could this be put on top to "mask" and "hide" so that a new home buyer or home inspector can "NEVER" tell that there was a crack and repair?
Hi Anonymous, Thanks for writing in. The Granite Grip is a great product that does fill in hairline cracks up to 1/8". However, if the cracks are larger than that, you'll need to repair those with a paintable concrete filler before applying it. Also, it's very important that all label instructions for prep and application are followed to ensure a successful project. And keep in mind that while two coats are necessary, additional coats may be required to hide previous surface imperfections or cover over dark colors. Good luck!
@@BehrPaints Thank you for your response! One more question on the proper use of the acid to prep the floor. How do I get it off without washing it into my plants and killing my landscape or grass? Is there a special mop? Some people are saying to throw tons of baking soda at it before rinsing. Just thought I would check with you pros first.

Hi Joseph. Granite Grip coverage is 40-60 sq. ft. per gallon, and is offered in Premix Tan, Premix Gray, and 16 additional tinted colors. spr.ly/6052EeAmC
Awful product to work with. Didn’t spread nicely with roller, had to press so hard I broke the handle. Wouldn’t cover lower areas of concrete. A total disaster, I would not recommend this product!

This is some BS, its too much work and steps. The dude himself lost his breath saying all those steps that one has to do before the actual painting? Rediculous
Superb product ! Worked great on my pool patio.
3rdShiftPaul F indoor or outdoor pool? I gave an indoor pool, and worried chlorine might destroy it over time
How is it now ?
I applied to my pool area and my porch,it turned out great !!
Does the pool deck stay cool?
Slippery when wet?
Letting Octave do all the work...nice guy Rick

So what do you think is the best way to fix the problem?
How does it hold up to snow, ice and powerwashing?
so how much per square foot does all this costs for a back patio and deck around pool that is basically the same size you did in the video?
It will peel again.
Does this cool off the pool deck like cool deck?
Can you put over painted cement? How do you prep?
Can a 5-gallon bucket and screen be used? We have to lay 45 gallons of granite grip on a pool deck. I really don't feel like using a tray. Not at all.
How does this hold up to rock salt or ice melt in winter?
can Behr Granite grip apy on paver blocks?
Winter time will pile up?
Looks good but the cost is so high. What is it about $12 per square foot?
Would this be a good coating for a mortar shower pan instead of tile?
Sounds like a job for Superman.
I got this stuff and when it was hot outside, it burned my feet. Not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be.
Do you know of a company that does this or what type of company we would contact to have it done?
If my concrete is broom swept and already feels like 150 grit sand paper, is the etching still required?
Great question. If the concrete isn't porous, we still recommend etching. To do a porosity test, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the floor. If it gets absorbed fairly quickly, you may skip etching since your concrete is already rough. We hope this helps.
@@BehrPaints Thank You!
What does he mean how easy it is to apply? There were too many steps and conditions for it to work.
So what happens if it rains the next day or out of nowhere that day ? I live in Florida and one second is 95 degrees sunny beautiful day and then the world its ending outside that even the weather guy gets surprised.
Move somewhere where it doesn’t rain.
Your screwed I got the same problem in Michigan one minute it's fifty next it's twenty below
That’s scary the way he applied it are you sure he is a professional

@@BehrPaints can you apply this with a sprayer designed for truck bed coating?
@@BehrPaints we have paint on our concrete around the pool and want to use granite grip now. How do I prep so it does not lift?
@@BehrPaints what if concrete is painted?
@@ronniebuchanan6575 just prep it with acid and power wash. Make sure no loose paint. Then apply 2 coats of Granite Grip
Does it require a seal?
Thats what im wondering

Hello. We recommend checking with the manufacturer of the acid or prep products for best removal techniques.
This dose not work!! It peels off like few rainy days and in few months it peels!

Hello Jimmy. We offer 9 colors, a link to the colors can be found on our product detail page here: spr.ly/6058Ei9Hw?
Too bad Granite Grip costs almost as much as actual concrete resurfacing.

waste of A LOT of $$, it peels
HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!! To much work and it cracks!
The way he talking about application, automatically made me lose interest,
Not that easy. Very challenging to get an even look.
That product doesn't fill in like it should. Needs improvements.
@@lutherdemesmin9286 Agreed!

This does not look hard at all. Try working with epoxy flooring if you want to see work.
