Hi, we applied both the glossy sealers and the concrete sealer about 2 weeks ago. I just checked and clearly the glossy version worked when I poured water on it and pearls of water were forming. But the sealer did not look glossy at all. What could be the reasons, it was not glossy?The water on the penetrating version did not pearl. What could be the reasons the water did not pearl? Please advise Note: I was planning to use the concrete sealer in my garage and the glossy sealer in my artist studio.

We would suggest that you add another coat of the gloss sealer and it will look glossier. This product is meant to be applied 3-5 times, wet on wet, until the concrete is fully and completely saturated. Once saturated it will start to puddle. Once it starts to puddled it should be backrolled but there will still be some gloss on the surface. For the GBS Penetrating Concrete Sealer without gloss, same instructions, however, when saturated, the surface will not show any gloss. If the water does not bead up, chances are only a few coats were applied and the concrete was not saturated fully up to the surface.
