      Apply a light coat when you get the sealer. Make sure it is clean and dry. Takes 2-3 days to arrive the IN.

    I have a stamped concrete patio that is 10 years old. It has been sealed 3 times (including original). I have used your Super Seal 30 which is a great product. Last year I applied xylene, and it looked good for the season. Is it ok to apply xylene again this year, or should I use your sealer?

    About 7 years ago, I had a stamped concrete sidewalk and front steps installed.  The contractor insisted that it be sealed every year with MasterKure cc250XS.  I've dutifully done that.  MasterKure is hard to find, expensive and only available in 5 gallon containers.  I don't need anything close to 5 gallons. I'm told that an opened container has a shelf life of about 18 months, so I can seal my walkway twice before it expires.  Then I have to responsibly dispose of the leftover product.  My question is whether there is something else that I can use?  I've been told that once you've applied MasterKure, you are stuck with it from then on.  I don't know if that is true.  I'm looking for any helpful guidance.

      Sorry, but we have never used that product so unsure. Typically you need to strip if switching.

    Hi, in the process of refreshing my stained and sealed stamped concrete with Zylene, I have a few sections that have white pock marks, perhaps from Birds, or possibly chipping.  See the attached pics.  Since cleaners and solvents do not have an impact, I tried a wire brush that was effective, but revealed that the stain appears to be in the sealer.  Is it possible to mix your Super Color with the SuperSeal Matte sealer and applied where the existing sealer has been scrubbed off?

    Is this in good enough shape to seal over a old solvent based sealer put down 3 years ago? I plan on using super seal 25 voc. Also, can I use this same product to seal travertine coping?

      It looks good to seal. With the coping, you cannot drip the sealer into the water when applying.

    My super seal ended up turning a milky white in some areas. Why and how do I fix it?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      Super seal by itself does not turn white so it could be many things underneath it. Trapped moisture, efflorescence, polymeric sand haze that was not removed prior to sealing, etc.

      Can you post a picture and did you use a poly sand?

    I have a stamped concrete driveway and have used your product before (usually every 3 years ) 2 weeks ago I pressured washed driveway and applied Super seal 30. It came out nice except in small patch's looked like tiny bubbles. Now larger areas look like haze but not flaking. I was going to do a 2nd coat anyway but not sure if that will correct the haze. I did use a 3/8 napp brush. Not sure if it did not go on thick enough.. any suggestions.

    Also, I used strippers to remove the mold & mildew. Looks good, but is that sufficient?

      Does water bead on the surface or soak in right away?

        If it soaks in right away then the surface can take a new sealer.

    I am looking to seal the concrete decking around my salt pool after I clean all the dirt off with a pressure washer.  What product should I be looking at that will not be slippery and leave a more natural looking finish?

    We have a concrete patio/deck.  Approximately 6-7 years old.  In full sunlight (if that makes a difference).  It's flaking/losing it's luster/turning white in color.  Not even sure where to start....do I power wash and reseal with SuperSeal30 Gloss ??

    We are going to be applying the Clemons supreme shield SB 600 to a coloured concrete deck. What type of roller material should we use? It says to use a solvent resistant roller so would a regular 1/4” nylon paint roller work?

    We have a beautiful, new colored concrete patio.  However, we have oak trees with branches that hang over in some spots and the concrete has tannin stains.  What is the best way to remove these stains and also to prevent future staining?  Thank you!

      Use bleach to clean one part to 4 parts water. Let sit for 15 minutes and then rinse. Use Surebond SB-5000 stain blocking sealer.

    My exposed aggregate driveway has the expansion joints filled with wood strips. Should I apply the brown tinted concrete sealer to these wooden strips as well? It's old wood and any previous sealer/stain is long gone.

    I always use the 30 clear sealer on stamped concrete patio but now it’s faded so I bought the brown stain sealer to try.  2 Questions 1. Is there a best temp /humidity to apply the sealer And2. Do I need to ‘stir/mix’ the sealer it’s in a 5 gal container?

      Stir for a few minutes and apply in 60-85 degree temps. Avoid hot sun application.
