I did a lot of research before deciding on this product. I have a stamped concrete patio and we're having it screened in. It was so easy to use. I used a 3/8" nap paint roller with a long handle. The product is clear and almost like spreading water. I rolled the product in small sections in one direction and then in a cross direction because our patio has texture. I plan on using it again. Only problem is to use it in an open area because it does have a heavy petroleum smell. It does leave your floor looking shiny and it is very slippery when there is water on it, so be careful.
