We mainly use SW product (Resilience Exterior Acrylic Latex) but I'm open to anything that might provide better performance, coverage, etc.

As the title states we're spraying this stuff on brick: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Valspar-Masonry-Stucco-Brick-Base-4-Flat-Interior-Exterior-Tintable-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-580-fl-oz/1000380365

Using a 515 tip, but we can't seem to get it in to all the nooks and crannies of the mortar and bricks. Anyone got experience spraying this or have any tips besides spraying it on heavy and back rolling with a 2" nap roller?

Long before we consider the hard problem of consciousness and aligning moral values of a sufficiently advanced AI with our own, there exists a conundrum which I feel represents a far greater existential threat to humanity. Trustless information...

Some day far or near in the future depending on who you ask, there will arise a system which contains enough information within it's system to act as a modern day Oracle. With enough data points and weighted inputs, there will eventually be a language recognition and information processing system that simply "knows everything". With sufficient inputs this system has the potential to eventually come to be "the trusted source for factual information

I have a client who has stained oak hardwood stairs treads and they want to seal it and protect it of course but they want it to be clear with no "warm" or amber tones effecting the color.

The ceiling in the client's bathroom lifts and destroys the caulk along the crown molding every winter. She pays me every year to come in and redo it. It's been suggested to use Big Stretch caulk. Is that stuff legit or one of those gimmicky things? Is there a better, more permanent fix?

r/Tile•

Installed a new tile shower using black Mapei UltraColor Plus grout. Went to wipe the grout and it just smeared black dye over all the tiles. Waited a couple days and tried again..same thing. Put grout sealer on it and still the same. It's been 2 weeks now and everytime we hit it with a damp sponge we just end up smearing black dye over the rest of the tile.

Read on some forums that it could be due to old/expired grout (which I didn't know was a thing) and the Floor & Decor guys said it wasn't mixed properly... Thoughts?
