Hi! We exposed concrete columns in our 1961 condo and think it would be good to apply a sealer of some sort. One reason would be to create a smoother service in the event someone brushes up against the wall so clothes won't snag or skin won't get scratched. What product would work best for that? We are not looking to paint and do not want a wet look Thank you! SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, MexeSeal, Semi-Gloss Concrete & Masonry Sealers

Our sealers are designed to seal moisture in or out of a surface. The GBS Penetrating Sealer will not change the surface texture at all. The Mexeseal is topical and will build a very slight coating. If your surface is very rough, you may need to grind it down first before sealing it. Don't expect any of our products to magically smooth out rough surfaces. The Deck Revive is for wooden surfaces only and has a rough non-skid surface so it will definitely not be appropriate either.
