I would suggest emailing the Company. The believe the owner and President of the company responds to the emails. He's answered my questions and has been informative.

Good afternoon, I used it on my laminate floors that has a matte finish and it worked fine but takes some real elbow grease to get the old wax up. The laminate I have are the lowest quality laminate the builder could install and it survived just fine. After trying this brand I went back to the original brand I purchased and ran out of. Armstrong® "New Beginning Resilient Deep Cleaning Floor Cleaner" It might not be a green product but it saves hours of time. Both are quality products but one of them takes less work.

I used the Behr Wet Look High Gloss Concrete Sealer from Home Depot. After the Ardex cured on my countertops for two days, I sandwd them down doe probably 90 minutes so they were smooth but still had texture. Cleaned up all of the dust, then applied about 12 thin coats of sealer over 24 hours. My blog features the whole process I used at thefinalboardingcall.blogspot.com

I used it on my grout and there is NO gloss or satin finish. It didn't change the color of the grout in any way and you can't tell it's there until you test it with water after it's dry. In fact, I was just at my new house (four days later) and I had to test it again with water because it didn't look as if anything was there. I loved this stuff. We applied two coats but the first coat did make the grout waterproof. I put the two coats on because I want it to last and last. I sealed every piece of grout in the house. :)

The tutorial I used via Pinterest showed very dark finished cabinets which I don't think would let the grain show through. This isn't the look I wanted.So I put the stain on fairly heavily, waited 3 minutes (don't let it dry) and wiped off. You can add all the coats you want to get the look you want. I used four on some things but only two on others. The stain still shows through on my pieces and I am very happy with the result. I also wanted to have a faint red finish which with the way I did it I do. Not in your face red, just a hint. I LOVE the Java stain.

I did not have a problem with any residue. I applied the Enhancer after two coats of sealer.

I did not need to strip my floors as they were new installs. However, I think it would probably be a good idea to do so IF you have already put other finish applications on them. This finish is high gloss & very durable. IF I were going to stip, I would use a steam cleaner on them rather than a "stripper" product so as to not leave any other product residues on the floors. I absolutely love this product. I applied it several months ago now, & still doesn't need to be re-applied.

Agree with posted comments. We have black Richlite counters which are porous and stain easily. Osmo oil has worked better than the installer's attempt at sealing. Make sure to apply it with a lint free cloth. If applying two coats be sure to wipe down between coats with tack cloth and allow it to dry completely. No, it does not leave a residue like mineral oil.

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish. Why I used this &gt;&gt; was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

HI Jack You can paint over this product because it does not have repellent properties. However, i recommend waiting for a couple of days after application to see if any white residue is expelled from the concrete. Regards Mike Stone Technologies Corp 423-503-4490

I used it on polyurethane finish hardwood floors. Love it, bring out the beauty again. I have dogs and they bring in sand which was taking the finish off where they laid down. I only use it about every other month and it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

I put on the colored coat and added the flakes before it dried. then I added the clear epoxy. I think in order to do a 2nd coat of clear epoxy you need to do it quickly or you have to sand the surface for it to stick. I don't see any benefit to the flakes. just decorative. there is a phone number on the product to call the manufacturer. I will tell you if you do it right, this coating is almost impossible to mess up. I make natural soap and it has had lye on it and has not shown any effect. but the key is to do it right. if your concrete has any moisture in it, the coating will not stick. my concrete was very wet and I had to put fans on it to dry for a week. you have to do the moisture test to see if your concrete is dry. this stuff is the best! .

I over sprayed on some hard wood floors and after two days I had to take a dry cloth and wipe the over spray areas...where I lightly sprayed it dried in about two hours...I waited about two hours before going back in after spray..Very little smell and the zoecon precor 200 got rid of all the fleas...It's been 4 months and still flealess...Good product but overspray leaves the floor very slippery and you need to be super careful walking on the overspray...

Okay so I totally trust J. Lesley answer because I havent used it. BUT! look at the rubbermaid handheld reveal. I used it lightly on my base boards (super high traffic, painted gloss) and they look like i REPAINTED them! awesome. and let me say we have three, big, messy dogs. good luck

yes - we had the very same situation as you - the dura seal works really well, though there is a bit more of an effort required (we purchased an electric buffer) to buff the floor after applying -in spite of the extra effort, the product does as good a job or better than the bruce wax

I used a mid gloss sealer in dining room after mixing Kona and Tannin stain. It came out nice and I would not hesitate to use wet look high gloss.

I was using this in my basement, I did two coats of the basement epoxy in grey with the flakes, then put a coat of clear down, then topped with a sanded coat of the clear. From what it says you can use it as a top coat or a sanded coat. It does not come with the acid etch solution. I did not etch the basement, just made sure there was no sealer on the cement.
