In this video, I am going to show you how to get professional results Applying Behr Granite grip to your concrete surface. Many of the complaints I read was it did not look uniform when finished. I have overcome that issue just by tweaking things a little bit.

Enjoy the video!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Does it require a smoother concrete surface or can be applied on rough concrete surface?
  • 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?
  • @amodio79
    Do you think this could be applied over a different existing coating after thorough power washing?
  • 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 😫😵‍💫

    Hey there where do you live? In what area of the country? I’m asking because I’m in central Illinois and am concerned about the freeze thaw cycle and how this product holds up in extreme temperature cycles???
  • @nickb7977
    Great job on the video. What was your process to prep?
  • @brendaredrick
    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.
