Concrete Sealer Faq

How will the sealer affect the color of the stain or concrete surface?

How the concrete looks like after the stain residue has been washed off, and while it is still wet, is what it will look like when sealed.
Sealer will bring out the color variations and add depth as well.

How do I apply the sealer?

With a Paint Roller is the preferred method, though you can spray it on with a pump up, conventional, or airless sprayer.
Never pour the sealer directly onto the surface. Dip your roller into the pail and apply, or use a paint pan.

Should I use a Traction Additive in my Sealer?

Sealed Concrete is Slippery when Wet. Make no mistake about it. That being said, when using the Sealer outdoors, we definately recommend using the grip additive.
When using the sealer indoors, you should be using the wax, which gives better traction than the sealer does, along with keeping the floors dry.
We do not recommend using the traction additive indoors.

Why should I Wax the Sealer when indoors?

Sealer is soft and will scuff and dull with time. Therefor you have to reseal periodically to keep it fresh. This is fine outside but is very undesirable when indoors.
The wax will protect the sealer with a hard to scuff coat that usually lasts for months, is extremely easy and inexpensive to apply, and will add a depth to your floors that you are sure to appreciate.
If you maintain the wax properly, you should not ever have to reseal.

Is your Sealer water proof?

No. There are waterproofing products on the market.
What our Sealer does do is repell the water. Think of it this way. If you were to lay a fresh piece of sheetrock flat and pour water on it, then the sheetrock would absorb the water. But what if you painted the sheetrock with a couple coats of outdoor paint before pouring water on it?

How do I figure the amount of sealer I need?
