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 have up carpet and have a concrete floor with a big crack running through it. I had a foundation guy check it, and he said foundation is okay but crack needs to be sealed with epoxy before covering with any type of flooring such as ceramic tile. I am extremely chemically sensitive. Do you have a product that might work for this? View answer

I have a some questions concerning your GBS Penetrating concrete sealer. I want to use it on a basement floor that has some areas that were ground down to make it level. It also has some areas the were patched with a concrete patch. Do I need to etch the concrete where it was ground and patched? Also how long can it be stored? I want to order it now when it will not get cold during shipping, but I plan to apply it on my basement floor later this winter. I can store it so it will not get cold and the basement room will be heated as well. Thanks , Julie View answer

Can we use this to seal the slab to put wool carpet on slab, or do you recommend another product?We used 6 mil plastic and some of our rooms have musty odor and after pulling 90 dollar a yard wool carpeting up we noticed a white residue under plastic and super strong musty odor. we read that mildew can form between concrete slab and plastic underlayment.

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 have concrete block walls in my basement that have some sort of old dry loc type product on the block that's flaking off. Can this product be used as a sealer on the walls on top of the existing painted on dry loc that's flaking? Can I paint over this? I want to seal the block but also want something that won't hurt my birds or dogs on the floor above my basement. Or is there another product that would work better. View answer

Our basement had mold in it, we have since corrected the problem and had the mold cleaned up. It was recommended that we seal the basement floor and walls to prevent excess water from entering the basement (exterior underground walls are already sealed). We have a home gym in the basement so are very concerned with respiratory health. What indoor concrete sealer would you recommend? and also plan on adding rubber flooring panels in the gym area.

can you use this product on an exposed aggregate concrete driveway? Also, will it darken the driveway? We notice when it rains and the water soaks in, the driveway appears a little browner which matches well with our stucco home. Once this soaks in, will it dry a little deeper? View answer

Can this be used on the outside of concrete water troughs being used to grow aquatic plants? All sides of troughs are 3 inches thick. The concrete is fiber reinforced, unsealed and porous. The objective of sealing from the outside would be to reduce permeability/slow down water loss through the concrete. The sealer failing over time is not an issue for me. Or, is there another product better suited for this goal that will not change the look of the cured concrete? Thank you! View answer

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. View answer
