" I'm about to interrupt Allan Cox news here hanging off the side of the building. While the noisy buses go by. And his job is to blend in so that all of these new break. Look like the antique and now Allan before you start doing your magic and know that somebody's come along and used a grinder on the face some of these new brick right. And the grinder basically just Robinson up a little bit so that the face will absorb the pigment."
" Exactly where water based product -- penetrate the surface little. Work with any absorbent. Masonry material. But in this instance they have face of the brick is glossy it's very hard in the material -- there would be made absorbent so what are you actually doing you're here. Not just rubbing on the pigment you were spraying some dust on the minute here we reserve and assistance it's so shiny that that we need. A little texture for the yeah. Let's add to the surface that -- what you had to do so basically. I'm putting some stain on here. And this is just a sample area so this is a little sort of volatile -- standard it was a bigger jobs reduce. -- and very very low pressure just not an absorbent pressure but just enough to get the sand applied onto the wall but and it's just regular builders and yes yes. Basically it's just giving a little texture to throw the light around a little bit and it'll give it a more true world color. They're very artistic process can be pretty tedious especially with -- and application minutes. This two inch. -- brick so we use a two inch brush right like it can be pretty tedious and you're you're only doing it to the brick not to the mortar now. Now Bryant and when you say it's a sample to sample for the landmarks landmarks commission this is actually the third sample that we've done. So that's just part of the process that we want to get approval and they wanted a little bit redder and a little bit more -- were providing them another sample hopefully they'll grow resistant all right we'll let you get along with your way thank him. Next."
