What's the best way to apply RadonSeal?

A common lawn and garden sprayer with an adjustable nozzle will do. Alternatively you could use a paint roller (3/4" nap).

I have not tried to paint over radon seal but the packaging says you can after about 10 days. My garage took longer to finish penetrating and impurities came up like a fine sand. I'm sure I could paint over it now.

Yes; Because RadonSeal protects concrete against water vapor, efflorescence, and the "alakli attack" it is commonly used by flooring contractors as a concrete primer. RadonSeal is suitable for use before applying paints, adhesives, epoxy floor coatings, concrete overlays, surface levelers, membrane "wet-look" coatings and before the installation of moisture sensitive flooring.

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.

You can use this product to seal slate and flag stone and then apply an enhancer after it cures (24 to 48 hours). Regards Mike 423-503-4490

I sealed my kitchen granite with this. Here is a very helpful video showing how to use products like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhaF7NVISkA

No, it should be directly applied on concrete wall. Later you can put paint on the top. Main purpupose is to get inside the concrete tiny wholes and block the radon gas.

I applied it to my grout with a roller bottle. For my granite, I poured a little out on the counter and used a sponge brush to spread it out.

Radon seal does not change the finish of the concrete. It soaks into the concrete and seals it. Follow the instructions, don't let puddle and dry. Brush the concrete well after a week and do not paint for at least 10 days as stated in the instructions. Radon seal only seals the concrete it is not used as a finishing product. I would get all of the information from radon seal on line before purchasing and using. I have used it but since it soaks in and does not change the look of the concrete it is difficult to determine how well it works.

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.

Nope. Not unless you remove the paint first and I mean REALLY remove all paint. Radonseal works by ways of a chemical reaction with the ingredient cement, which is in the concrete. If it can't soak into the concrete, no chemical reaction will occur and no barrier will form. Sorry!

I believe the manometer fluid is a mineral-base oil that does not contain any water. The fluid probably will become viscous (thick) if exposed to cold temperatures, but I doubt it will freeze. Check with a local radon removal system installer to be certain.

I use a spray on one I bought at Home Depot or Lowe's. This marble takes a real beating in my house with 4 teenagers and sealing it is important. Nothing works perfectly.

Radon seal has no "finish" after application. It soaks into the concrete. Read instructions on the can as to applying anything over it.

Definitely, NOT! Radon Seal works by a chemical reaction between it, and the cement in concrete. It does NOT work unless it's used on clean, porous concrete. There is less cement in concrete blocks (also known as cinder blocks) so more radon seal is needed in this case. NEVER use RadonSeal on anything but cement based, porous concrete walls, floors and blocks. Sorry!

I removed the old caulk and applied a thin bead of transparent silicon caulk and smoothed it out to be mostly flush. I then applied this strip on top of that and then used the remaining transparent silicon caulk to seal the grout lines along the top. Based on reading the reviews I think sealing the strip after you apply it with transparent silicone caulk is a very necessary step. Just spend some time wiping up the excess and you won't notice the transparent caulk, but you will have piece of mind that the strip will be water tight.

Get yourself a Loctite ( I used the PL 375 Heavy Duty ) all purpose adhesive tube from any Home Depot or Loew's and get a caulking gun, pop the tube in it and apply to the back of each foam square. Press them on the wall or where ever you want them to go. Cheers!
