*WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING ON POLISHED STONE & CERAMIC GLAZED SURFACES, AS IT WON'T SOAK INTO THE SURFACE*
**Exceptions to Sandstone suitability:
Please note this product is not suitable for Kandla Grey (mid and light grey) sandstone
COVERAGE RATIOS:
Average 5-12 mē per litre depending on the texture and porosity of the surface being sealed.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Due to the effects of Efflorescence and Natural Salts and Minerals, that can permeate through Natural Stone, it is recommended not to seal for a minimum 4 months after installation.
1. Apply in temperatures above 15°C, but below 23 degrees ensuring the surface is completely dry, clean and free from debris. Apply only if no rain is forecast for at least 8 hours. For best cleaning results use Patio Clean Xtreme.
**If applied to a surface where a "sweep-in" pointing compound has been used with the last 6 months, the natural stone must be fully cleaned with Smartseal Residue Remover prior to sealant application.**
2. Apply the sealer thinly and evenly with a low pressure sprayer, roller, microfibre mop, paint brush or soft cloth. Try not to leave application marks or allow the product to 'pool' or 'puddle' on the surface immediately after application. In the event of over application please ensure all excess is removed within 45 minutes of applying.
3. Once applied, allow minimum 60 minutes drying time before applying the second coat. If possible, apply the product in the opposite direction to try to achieve an even finish. Multiple coats can be applied to achieve the desired finish.
Important Note: Any areas nearby that are not being sealed should be protected with masking materials. If you are sealing over coloured grouts, carry out that a stain test before proceeding.
Q: Can the wet look stone sealer be used on porcelain patio slabs( they are not polished ) Many thanks
A: The wet look sealer should NOT be used on porcelian paving. If you are looking to seal porcelain tiles we would recommend using the porcelain sealer. This will give a satin finish after application.
Q: Can this deal be used in natural York stone flags grey ?
A: The wet look sealer for natuarl stone is usually used for sealing york stone. We would suggest trying a sample to determine suitability.
Q: I've got Raj Blend sandstone patio & would like the wet look sealant but need to know whether or not it is slip-resistant.
A: There is no anti-slip additive in the wet look natural stone sealer.
An Indian sandstone area that has been laid for several years and become drab and more like cement slabs. After jet washing, the colours returned, most attractive as it was when new, but when dry, it was not as effective. I used Ultimate Enhancer sandstone sealer and the results are truly amazing. It now has the colours that showed when wet. Very pleased. I found the technical team extremely quick in response to my questions.
Was sceptical to whether this sealer would actually provide the finish desired; however 3 coats on prepared sandstone give a lovely wet sheen which is easily cleaned. Longevity, time will tell. The result is however a little slippery when wet which can be an issue subject to type of footwear.
The wet look sealer is an excellent product, very easy to apply and the end result is exceptional. The colours in our sandstone paving are really enhanced and able to be seen in both wet and dry weather.
