got a new 2" brush the daughter scooby doo bowl as a paint kettle and some knee pads
painted the stuff on exactly as the instructions,about an hour later (when i had finished) there were white patches in places which wouldnt paint in,but a soft brush soon moved these marks
anyway mrs LLL came back from shopping and asked what had i been doing all day
as they do :;): i pointed at the patio and she said it looked the sameanyway tonight i put the last bit of downpipe up at the back of the house ,this left a pile of brick dust , which i decided to hose off
as soon as the water went near the surface it just rolled about like little red blobs of mercury (brick dust and water balls)
to be frank when i sealed it i didnt know it would be sealed to this extent
anyway the bottom line is mrs LLL is happy and i give lithofin MN stain stop 9/10 (the minus point being expense)
cheers LLL
