Weather and Concrete Staining
The weather can affect a lot of things in the construction process. Concrete most times won't be poured on a very wet ground. Rain can also affect the expected timeframe to get a home framed with a roof. Temperatures can affect or dictate when concrete can or cannot be poured.
Some things that can impact an Acid Stain job are:
1. Rain - We can't stain in the rain for exterior jobs and a house has to be blacked-in with a roof.
2. Wind - A very windy day would not be good for staining as the chances for overspray and drying of the stain are possible. If the sealer will be sprayed on, wind may cause the solvent in the sealer to evaporate too quickly.
3. Temperature - Staining and sealer application are best done in the moring hours before the teperature rises too high. Sealers can also be applied later in the afternoon if the exterior area is not in direct sunlight. Most sealers also should not be applied if the temperature is below 40 degrees.
As with most new construction, renovation or addition projects, patience and a sense of humor are a must.
