    Its probably been asked a million times, but which sealer do you recommend for natural stone pavers? I don't want any glossy shine if thats possible. Thanks!

    what is the best cleaning agent for Travetine patio pavers? I used SB600 last year do I need to remove this before I reapply this sealer?

    Can I use SB6000 over a dulled  over a previous Super Seal 25 solvent base? I wish I would have used a water base the first time.  Barely any shine left except in a few spots.

      Yes, you can. Water-based sealers do not last longer than solvent-based.

    I just ordered 5 gal of SuperSeal25.  That is the product my paver guy used when they installed my pavers. I’m very satisfied with the product.  For future re-application, is there a higher gloss product that can be applied over SuperSeal25?

    Hello,
    First, I would like to say thank-you in advance for an informative and helpful website.
    I am seeking advice for the attached state of my paving stones:
    1) As the image depicts, the stones are scratched and I believe this happened from power washing. However, when it rains and surface is wet and I do not notice the scratches. Do you think the sealer would hide the scratches? If yes, do you recommend SB-6000 sealer? If not, any recommendation?
    2) Some areas, the polymeric sand has come out. Can I clean the surface and just apply polymeric sand on top or do I have to first remove all polymeric sand? If I have to remove the polymeric sand, what is the easiest way to remove it?
    3) Can SB-6000 be used for for exposed aggregate concrete driveway?

    Looking forward to your recommendations. Thank-you

      1. The scuffs should go away with a wet look sealer. Use Supreme Shield SB-6000 or Surebond SB-600.2. You cannot apply poly sand on top, you will need to wash it out where you want to add more.3. We would not suggest the SB-6000 for aggregate. You would need a sealer like the Super Seal 30:https://www.opwdecks.com/30-higher-gloss.htm

    A-1 solvent drying times, are they reduced by how much sun the pavers get and the temperature?  I just did my drive way and think it said wait 4 days to drive a car on the pavers.  The drive way gets full sun from noon to 7 pm with temps in the low 90's.  Still wait at least 4 days?

        Originally used SB 6000 and it took 4 full days to dry.  So you are saying no tire tracks after 24 to 36 hours with a water based solvent?

        There is no such think as a water based solvent and A-1 is not a sealer but strictly a solvent that helps to restore a shine to acrylic solvent based sealers that have dulled. It will not do anything to your SB-6000.

    i purchased two pails 10 gal. of SB8700 to seal my travertine pavers.  MReceived first pail, but my hardscape installer refuses to use because warning label states can cause death if inhaled or swallowed.  I am scheduled to receive second pail today via ups.  can I return both pails for two pails of water based SB8700?  Thanks.  Jim.

      Tell them not to swallow/drink it and they will be fine. The SB-8700 does not come in water based. BTW, swallowing a water based sealer would cause just as bad as a reaction.

    I sealed my pavers using SuperSeal25 in 2018. No problems. Then last year in 2020 I gave the pavers another coat of the same. About half way through the summer the finish started to look a bit hazy, again not a real problem. This winter I used my snowblower on the pavers and due to very dense snow I had to put a lot of force into pushing the machine. Unfortunately the machine left rubber skid marks from the rubber paddles on the pavers. I have attempted wo remove the marks working my way up in strength of cleaning product to no avail. Finally I used some lacquer thinner on a test paver and was able to remove the mark. Can you recommend a stripper that would do the same. I think the entire field of pavers need to be stripped and new sealer applied.

    Thanks, Mike S

    I live in central florida and have read that water based sealer is better than solvent based for brick pavers, is that true

      No, not true at all. The base does not matter, but the quality of the sealer does. We carry both water and solvent based and all are high-end products.

    I am having a new driveway poured this week. How long should I wait before applying a sealer? I notice that you offer water repellents like SuperSeal M and sealers like SB-6000. How are those product different, and what would you recommend for my driveway?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      The Sealer Store · 09/28/2020
      Teh SB-6000 will not work on regular poured concrete. Use the Super Seal-M and you can apply 3-7 days after the concrete dries.

    I've previously used Surebond SB-6400 (wet look penetrating sealer) on my paver patio and it really doesn't look like it did anything. Can I use SB 600 over this without doing anything to the patio?

    White spots started appearing about a week after applying SB-600 Supreme Shield to newly stained Brick Pavers. I am now wondering if I need to strip the sealer off and replace with another product?

    This July, I chemically stripped the previous sealant off the pavers, then applied a water-based concrete stain. I picked a 70deg morning to apply the SB-600 sealer, first spraying one light coat, then a 2nd coat an hour later with small amount of Super Grip powder added to the sprayer.

    Initially I though it was calcium/salt leaching out of the pavers, so I used a little vinegar to remove the white spots. That worked for a while, but the spots would return in a day or two. (appearing at different locations)

      That is not the sealer turning white but something else. Do you have any extra where you can test spot applying to one of the affected bricks? See if that fixes it. It could be a reaction with the stain.

        I do have a little SB-600 sealer left over to try applying over-top.

        Should I brush, spray or roll the sealer on the test area?
