I've used some before where when it rains the driveway cement gets darker gray because it's wet but the filler stayed white. Is this the same?

Yes the filler stays the same color wet or dry, the surface of filler is smooth. It's not white but lighter then cement. Like new dry cement. It's great for indoor since you can paint over. Out door it would work for thin cracks.

It reflects when you shine a bright beam directly at it. I don't think it would stay on the concrete very long. If you have a long dark driveway, I think it might help. Plastic reflectors would be better.

I used it on my porch and it appears a little lighter, more white, and smoother than the concrete. It was acceptable to me.

Yes, it's customizable as to how light or dark you want the end result to be. Also, if you layer the minerals while they are still wet, you will end up with gray areas where the white and black mix together (but dab the sponge, don't smear!).

I did mine in the spring (60-70°) and let it cure/dry for almost 2 days in my garage. It rained a few days later and it turned into a light white slime. I do not recommend. But give it a try. Oh and yes on new paint

The Ceramic filler is suitable for exterior tile repairs. The filler is water resistant when sealed with Lacquer Brush Pen that comes in the kit. The filler after applied should sit for 24 hours before putting any outdoor furniture on top for full curing. Thank you

It does dry transparent after buffing. A great use of Rain-X! I've done this to my countertops as well.

HI Kevin It 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 Regards Mike Stone Technologies Corp 423-503-4490

I'm still experimenting with this myself, but i believe there is indeed a difference between the two. the densifier is to be applied after you grind to about 600-800 grit clean it and apply the densifier. this is supposed to change the structure of the concrete by filling the microscopic pores in the concrete. You can see if you need it after the 800 grit grind because the marble chips are starting to "slick up" and the concrete around the chips is still dull. (Make sure you wipe up all the old grit before going to the next grit. I use a clean damp rag each time.) Follow the instruction included or go on-line, as to how you mix this stuff, how you apply it and how long you let it set. I'm pretty sure its caustic so follow safety procedures as they recommend. After the densifier, continue through the grits and when finished, the sealer goes on last to close the pores of the floor to make it more stain resistant. I have seen certain comments on line that indicates it can dull the finished gloss a little so try it before going whole hog on the floor.

Gloss or matte finish? I would say neither. Once it is dry, the stuff is absolutely invisible. I put two coats on my new stone patio and anticipated some noticeable change. Nothing. You'll know it is there, however, when something capable of staining is eventually spilled. A little soap and water and the problem is solved. I saved the empty containers and marked them clearly with the application date. That way, I remember to order more every other year because the sealer is invisible and gives no hint that it is worn or fadding.

That depends on the state you live in and its plumbing code. While the cement will work fine without it, there are states which require the use of a cleaner/primer before using the cement for new installations. Check your local code to be sure first. Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to inspections and possibly having to redo everything before being able to sell or rent your property.

It depends on what kind of sealer is allready on the stone,If it is a topical sealer it will not let the color enhancer of the new sealer take affect and the areas were the old sealer is worn off it will.So this will greatly affect the final look of the new sealer.

The first 3 sets of bottles it was an off-white color, now they are white. It may have been that the outside clear capsule was discolored? The color doesn't seem to affect the effectiveness of it and it still works great for me! And like some of the other reviews state... you need to keep using it once you stop all of the pain and other symptoms come back within days.

When put on wood, the PC Petrifier "wets" it so it looks darker. When dry it lightens up. Might have a little residual white to it, but its nothing at all like white paint.

It works great on our new this year cement driveway. Just don't want the snow to get too deep. It is so quick and easy to clear, if it looks like a big snow I'll just clear when it is 3-4" and then again later when it piles up again. Best way to clear snow with a lot less effort than shoveling.Glenn

I assume the question is directed to stains on concrete, tiles etc. The product can stain (light yellow) if wetted then allowed to dry and so care should be taken during application to avoid spread on sidewalks, etc. However, I find that if this does happen washing the product off with a hose largely negates this. However, if there is minor staining this fades entirely with weathering over time.

RadonSeal works by reacting with free lime and alkali so its an ideal sealer for limestone! It will not change the color.
