USER TIPS
Test in an inconspicuous area before starting the general application to ensure desired results & expected finish.
Always follow paver manufacturer’s sealing recommendations.
If using on manufactured stone, ask dealer about cleaning & sealing procedures prior to application.
For a deeper sheen, wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat. This ensures the highest gloss appearance. Do not over apply.
For added slip resistance, use SRW SR Slip-Resist™.
Re-apply every 3 – 5 years.
For vertical applications, watch for dripping/pooling. Wipe with a brush if needed.
Do not use more than one sealer on the same project.
