The transparency of this product when it's dry has mostly to do with the thickness of the application. If it's smeared on a surface thin, it's pretty clear, or at least it looks that way. But it's actually slightly opaque so the thicker it gets the whiter it appears. In other words, a thick bead, like the thickness of your finger, might appear to be almost white. It's a great gap filler, so I've used it to fill 1" wide gaps that are 1/4" deep... it looks white when you do that. I've also used it to glue together pieces of unfinished wood, and smeared any excess on the surface... it's clear in those cases. Make sense?

Probably so. I would be careful as if you glue carpet over and then later peeled it up it might pull off water seal as well. I used it for waterproofing concrete backer board in our shower - worked great for that!

We did not put adhesive on ours so every few months we have to straighten it. I did not want it glued down to the floor but I think double sided carpet tape would do well. We are very satisfied with these mats compared to other ones we have had.

No.......It's not clear at all. The consistency is thinner and a brownish hue.....And it cures this browish color incredibly strong. If you're planning on using at as a very strong durable caulk that would be fine but know it's not a clear color.

Yes, it is a clear sealer, but it needs to be wiped off the tile after application. It seemed to work better than other sealers I have used in the past.

HI KevinIt is best to wait for the concrete to fully cure for 28 days before applying the sealer.If this is already cured concrete, the concrete should be dry and it should not rain during application and for 24 hours after application.any questions email or call me RegardsMikeStone Technologies Corp423-503-4490

No adhesive on concrete surface in my case even if they are water resistant, If I would have to I would go with outdoor cilicone on a very clean surface... it takes 24 hours to dry out !It Worth to give it a try.Good luck, kindly let me know.Lou.

I used it on carpet with mixed success. It didn't really every stay totally flat. Granted, I didn't use any adhesive, but it has a permanent curl in it from packaging, so unless you can use some kind of sticky tape to keep it down, I'd agree that its not great for carpets.

No- this is not a product that will last outdoors on concrete. Get the sealer. Done right the first time is cheaper than doing it over..lol!

I would wait for the carpet to dry completely. The carpet might be 'crunchy' if you apply while it's wet.

I don't believe it has adhesive. Not ours, anyway. We use it on thin carpeting in our office, and it works just fine. We roll chairs over it, and it does not move and keeps its shape. Pretty sturdy, especially considering the plastic junk we used before purchasing this heftier rubber product.

I'd say no to adhesive, but you could attach a vecro-adhesive to the rubber duct. Depending on the carpet, the velcro will grip to the flooring surface. Mines on a carpet floor and lays flat, no issue.

It's a very strong clear once it dries, however I would not recommend using it on a car.....

I figured it would be iffy as this product is more or less like Goo-Gone; it removes sticky stuff. In my review, I also warned readers that when I attempted to remove a sticker from a lovely wall shelf, it took the finish completely off, so I feared it would ruin the carpet. However, I happened to have a piece of carpet. I sprayed a bit of red paint on it, let it dry and then tried Goof-Off. It did not damage the carpet but it did not remove the red paint at all. I would try rubbing some paint thinner on the spot with a stiff brush, followed by some soapy water on a sponge. This has worked for me in the past.

Not sure if your looking for a damp proofer in a nicer color there are tons of other options tho. I used where drywall is covering basement walls

I have experienced the same thing. Fortunately, mine is setting on concrete in my basement, so it is not a problem.I belive the feet are made of a plastic resin that just bleeds. Best cleaner I have ever seen for carpets is "Spot Shot", sold at most Home Depots or Lowes.

I had the same situation. On half of it I used 2-sided carpet tape and nothing on the other half. After 4 months I can't tell any difference. The occasional tile (fewer than 10%) in both sections didn't seem to lay perfectly flat so I put two widths of tape underneath them and solve the problem. These tiles are perfect for a basement.
