What is the difference between 511 Porous Plus Penetrating Sealer and 511 Impregnator Penetrating Sealer? I need it for concrete kitchen countertops.

Both are made by Miracle Sealants (www.miraclesealants.com) and do the same job. On the manufacturer's web site, 511 Impregnator is identified as the original penetrating product and 511 Porous Plus is the new & improved model. Best Regards,

We have used the Porous Plus on concrete kitchen counter tops. We have been testing it out and feel that it is a descent penetrating sealer. Easy to apply with good results. You can put a topical over the porous plus, but you will get into issues with topical sealers as they scratch and can peel over time. We are still doing testing, so far it has worked well, it is stain resistant, but I wouldn't say stain-proof. We have not used the Impregnator Penetrating Sealer, so I can't give a comparison.

The 5360 has a more robust set of extended probes and it has a set of deep wall probes. The standard kit, 5364, has a set of basic extension probes only. If you do surface testing or only need to penetrate the outer 1/4" to 1/2" of a building material, go with the less expensive 5364 kit. If you are boring holes to test deep into the interior of a wall system or wood framing, you'll need the 5360. Either meter can be accessorized after the purchase.

HI MarkConcrete Sealer X-1 is only designed to work with concrete because it reacts with the free lime inside the concrete. With clay bricks there is no free lime for the Concrete Sealer X-1 to react with.However, it can be used to densify and harden the mortar between the bricks to stop them from dusting and to stop hydrostatic moisture as long as that is not coming through physical cracks (which it will not close).You would be best to apply two applications to the mortar lines with a thin brush. i would not recommend spraying it on the brick and mortar because it may create a white residue on the brick because it cannot react with it.RegardsMike423-503-4490 HI MarkConcrete Sealer X-1 is only designed to work with concrete because it reacts with the free lime inside the concrete.

I have the same question about concrete countertops. What did you end up using? Thanks!

From the Miracle Sealants website: http://miraclesealants.com/faq_answers/faq_answers_07.htmlI used the Porous Plus after my installer put 3 coats of the Sealer and Enhancer on my Kashmir White granite and the countertop still absorbed water. After 2 coats of Porous Plus, as recommended on the container, the granite appears to be impervious to water staining, it looks more lustrous and feels smoother. For my Kashmir White granite it did the trick and I think it's worth the price. I would stay with this product for my particular stone.

The "search results" image is correct, the image shown once you click and go into the item details is incomplete. I bought this part and received both parts of the seal - i.e., the part that is installed in the seal plate and the part that is installed on the impeller. By noticing that the two pictures are different, I can tell that you're on the right track. Contrary to what some might think, this item is two separate and distinct parts, as I previously described. Maybe some people get confused due to this item being shipped with both parts wrapped together. This is a generic aftermarket part, not an authentic Hayward part. When weighing service life vs. price, I'll continue to purchase the aftermarket part. The "search results" image is correct, the image shown once you click and go into the item details is incomplete.

To the best of my knowledge they are the same. We modified ours by drilling a hole to accept a 1/4 inch drain tube. We drain it to a container. This avoids the need to use the (flimsy) sponges that are included in the package.

If it were me.... I would seal it after grouting, not before. I would research Stonetech Bulletproof and more than likely use that instead of 511 sealant. From my experience, the 511 works best on granite and marble.

I don't usually seal my stone work ( not my nature or use ) but I'd try going to Home Depot or Lowes and read the labels...or ask a countertop outfit what they use. Lots of option I think, dep on your application. Hope it helps - have fun.

We used Cheng Concrete Sealer. We've had this as our kitchen counter top for about four months, and we're very happy with it. I recommend getting more than you need of both the concrete slurry and sealer and practicing on a throw away surface before applying to the surface that matters.

You should get the 3-4 qt one. I ordered 3-4 q. the size was OK but the rubber sealer was very narrow and thin. I threw it away. I trusted the description on the package. I have exactly the same pressure cooker that you have. The best way is to go to a shop such as Walmart or ......, take the sealer and get the right one. I got the correct one from a friend who bought it from a shop. Good luck.

Hi Marcie, This is supposed to be a one time application according to Stone Technologies web site. Product "X-1" is guranteed by the Manufacturer to last the life of your concrete.Ref. Link to Stone Technologies http://www.stonetechnologiesinc.com/concrete-sealers.php#concretesealerx1

No idea because I am way more concerned about preserving the logs from checking so I apply the sealer liberally. Two coats of anchor seal has the same prtection as four coats of latex primer.

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

we would suggest one of the sealers made by DuPont...Not knowing what kind of stone you have would determine the actual product... A small test area is always suggested to make sure you get the result you are looking for and for adhesion.
