We have several large retaining walls construct with Vertablock. The grey concrete color was bland and soul sucking. I have wanted to stain the block from the start but was intimidated by the scope of the project. I was so excited to come across your EasyTint product. Stain and sealer in one!! It was what I needed to take the leap and I’m so excited I did. - Personal Tips:
Any one can do it!
Use a good sprayer and wait for a calm day.
Less is more. Drips ( vertical surface) are your enemy. You can always come back and add more color to some areas.
