Can this be applied over previously painted masonry where the paint has been partially removed (removed to the extent possible)? I understand it won't penetrate where there is still paint, but will it penetrate where the paint has been removed and it is down to raw brick? 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.

I just ordered 2 gallons for my workshop floor. I need to make some small concrete repairs with Sakrete QuickSet before I spray it on. How long do I need to wait after make the repairs? Directions say it dries in 20 minutes but takes a month to fully cure. Grateful for any guidance. View answer

1980s construction, poured concrete below grade (heavy clay), block walls mostly below grade to first floor, AFAIK no sealers applied. Semi-conditioned space but +60% humidity often a problem. Is there a recommended moisture percentage (per material)? Also, saw the dewpoint/temp note-does that mean a high RH can be ignored prior or during application? Thanks View answer

Hi - I created a new birdbath out of concrete that has imprints of leaves on the inside. I want to seal the birdbath including the inside that will hold the water. Is there a sealer that I can use that will be non-toxic to birds? I understand that the PH will be high on fresh concrete and that there are products that can reduce the PH of the concrete before sealing it. Will that be necessary before using the sealer? Although the birdbath is large (~ 2 x 2.5 ft.) I believe that I don't need a full gallon of the product. Can I get it in smaller sizes? Thanks, Steve 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

Do you sell this in a smaller size? I am looking at sealers for my concrete 14 square foot shower floor. Your product sounds perfect for me except the cost per ounce options. Either I but a gallon at $.45/oz or a few of your samples at $.9/oz which (obviously) is double the cost. If I go with the lower cost per ounce option, I will have 119 oz left over. It seems if your product is to be used as advertised on "All Rooms, Basements, Bathrooms"...etc. I can't be the only homeowner with a small project wanting a smaller size than a gallon while also wanting the lesser $/oz cost.

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
