I found best way to put on was with a soft bristle push broom. I poured on out of bucket and then spread with broom. This stuff is the real deal. It rained two days later and water was nothing but beads and small puddles. You literally have to blow it off or squeegee it off or it is there till it evaporates because it cannot penetrate concrete at all. It looks like your ruining your concrete when putting it on but it dries evenly and is completely invisible and looks just like it did before application. Very good product
