Activity timeframe
Will GBS Penetrating Concrete Sealer work for polished concrete? Do you carry any caulk, sand, or silica substance that can be used to fill cracks in the concrete prior to applying GBS Penetrating Concrete Sealer?The concrete in the basement was recently ground to "salt and pepper" look and caulking from radon mitigation was removed with it. The radon levels went up from what they were before. There are various hairline cracks that I planned to grind clean and fill prior to applying the sealer. View answer

I am interested in sealing my mudroom floor which is made of unfinished bricks. I was wondering if your penetrating sealer would be an appropriate product: http://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/All-Products/Paints-Coatings-Concrete-Masonry-Sealers/Green-Building-Supply-Penetrating-Concrete-Sealer The description mentions mostly exterior applications, so I wanted to double check regarding interior floor use. Also, would it be appropriate to use on a stoop directly outside of the mudroom door? View answer

I poured concrete to plug a hole into a ceramic planter pot which I wanted to use as a container pot for my water lilies. However, the pot has a slow leak which I want to seal. I read that this product cannot be used submerged in water, I am wondering if I can use it on the outside of the pot instead. Will it still be safe for my fish? View answer

I plan on installing USFloors Expressions Hand Scraped Spice with Quiet Walk. I have a concrete slab floor, house was built in 1982. Do I need to seal it with a sealer, or only if the Calcium Chloride test shows moisture? If you recommend a sealer, then which one of yours should I purchase? View answer

I have a basement wall that is damp but at one time the wall was coated with a thin plaster and then painted. Over time the dampness of the concrete has caused portions of the wall to crumble. Must I remove the remaining plaster and paint before painting on a penetrating sealer? View answer

I applied the micro etch to concrete that had been power troweled. Afterward I found a tiny pit in the concrete (1/32�). Will these pits be sealed up and flush with the top surface of the concrete or will there always be a tiny pit? What would you recommend I do, before or after the sealer, to address any tiny pits? The concrete was previously smooth as glass and I could not perceive any pits before hand at least, but they may have been there. Should I not leave the micro etch on as long as I did? (5 minutes then scrub with a brush as the bottle suggested). View answer

I was wondering what would be the best cleaner for the floor after it's been sealed? I used this product on my entire house (have etched concrete floors that are just the slab foundation) and I am hesitant to use anything other than hot water on the floor. Is there anything you can recommend that wouldn't break down the sealer? View answer

I have four (4) cast stone outdoor flower pots that I have painted to match the exterior of our home. The interior of each pot is NOT painted and I would like to seal each one with one of your non-toxic concrete sealers. Each pot's interior measurement is 5" x 11". Assuming you have an appropriate sealer, would a sample size work on these low volume pots? View answer

I think I need to seal my very old (from 1955) concrete basement floor but it has small holes (from nails that were taken out along with small amounts of concrete) that need patching. What should use to patch it with that will still allow the GBS penetrating sealer to be applied? I assume I can't patch it after applying the sealer because of adhesion issues. I intend to paint over the sealer. View answer

I applied this product 10 years ago on my interior, colored concrete floor. I think it has performed well, though certain stains have still gotten through- cat puke in particular- I guess that's pretty much acid...Question: can I re-apply another coat? Will it penetrate or just sit on the surface? How should I deep clean stained areas first? View answer
