I used the water base SX5000 WB on my patio, after staining it a blueish color. Also a water based. So I could use a regular pump sprayer. Easy clean up with water. Very easy to use. It came in a 5 gallon can , package in a box , so no damage to container. This is a great product. I will be ordering more for my next project. I used 5 gallons on a little over 500 square feet area and got 3 coats.
