Hi, I'm staining my concrete floors in my basement. I have fixed some small cracks w something called quick Crete. Then sanded them down, next I will stain. Is this an appropriate sealer given I am staining and repairing the concrete first? The concrete is fairly smooth, I would like the floor to be waterproof and to protect my floors while giving a nice light sheen. Is this the right product? If not what would you recommend? Thank you SAMPLE - Green Building Supply, Penetrating Gloss Sealer Concrete & Masonry Sealers

The Penetrating Gloss Sealer is to be used on it's own, not in combination with another product. If your using a water based stain, it is possible the AFM SafeCoat EXT Exterior Polyureseal might work as a sealer for you. You'd need to perform a test to see if it will bond to the stain that you have. For testing purposes, we have sample sizes for purchase at $9.95 so you can test for compatibility.
