Patty, I’m having trouble finding these round pavers. Menards has them but they have a textured surface (has ridges) & I’d prefer a smooth surface. Pavestone makes the ones I’d like to get for this project but the local store don’t stock them anymore. Home Depot has them in bulk on their website but I don’t need 100+ stepping stones 😩

@StudioR12Stencils Жыл бұрын

Hi Carol! We hate to hear you're having a hard time finding these. We got ours at our local hardware store. We are an hour away from any of the big box ones, so we haven't checked there. We will keep our eye out if we see any and let you know!

@TheFlyingFox14 9 ай бұрын

Two questions: 1. I'm taking it you only need one coat of the DecoArt multi purpose sealer, not two. Is that correct? 2. Did you primer the stone at all, or does the sealer act as a primer? I'm looking to do something similar to this on a birdbath. Great job with the stone. I'm getting ready to start my project.

@StudioR12Stencils 9 ай бұрын

Hi there! You will use 1 coat of the MultiPurpose Sealer before you start painting. Then paint. Then when you finish, do up to 3 coats of the MultiPurpose sealer. 2. We used the MultiPurpose Sealer as our primer. Can't wait to see what you do with the birdbath!

@TheFlyingFox14 9 ай бұрын

@@StudioR12Stencils I should have stated, I'm boing both concrete stepping stones as well as a birdbath. Regarding your statement about the 3 coats of Multi Purpose sealer when I finish painting, your video states to use 3 coats of Mat DuraClear varnish. Is that what you meant, or will either do the same thing? Also, I plan on using white paint as a background on the stepping stones. Would either the varnish or multi purpose sealer discolor or darken the white upon application? I've never done a project like this & I want to make sure I do it right. Thanks for all your info.

Sorry we didn’t get a notification about this comment. You are correct we finished with the varnish. We have not had issues with discoloration with the sealer or varnish.

Love the lesson. I picked up stepping stones yesterday but I am having a hard time finding the decoart patio paint in my area. Is there another brand you would recommend?

@StudioR12Stencils Жыл бұрын

The DecoArt Patio Paint is the only paint we've tried with this. We also aren't able to find it in our small town. We recommend ordering it online! Here's the link to their site: shop.decoart.com/search-results/?q=patio+paint&page=2
