Has anyone used a high gloss concrete seal on top of the stain? Which would you recommend? Thanks! :)

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 did not want to seal the stain, it was so ugly I could not wait to remove it. Since I did not succeed , I painted it over and it looks 1000 better. Not fancy, but decent.

I did not feel that this stain gave me enough dimension. I personally nixed the DIY thing and hired my Epoxy floors out. I do not regret it they look amazing and for the fuss it would have been to get the desired look.... it just wasn't worth it. We ended up paying 1400 $ for 650 sq. feet!

No ! It needs to bond to the surface of the concrete! Not ment to be applied over primed & painted concrete !

Pretty glossy and just a shade from pure white. The ECO-BOND Heavy Duty has a glossier finish and a brighter white and can be used for any sealing job you have. Great products, hope this helps Doug

No. Bulletproof is not a cleaner. Use the product recommended by Hazemac or you can try Stonetech Klenzall cleaner before sealing.It depends on what caused the stain.

I applied it using a micro fiber towel, working a 1 sq foot section at a time i just put 2 beads on the towel and rub it on the vinyl rubbing hard for the tough stains and it got them all out. You need to have a good quality micro fiber towel and i would recommend Chemical Guys MIC50706, they are great. I did not wash the vinyl prior to application.

This won't remove the stain, it removes the varnish. If you like the color then seal it. if not stain it the color you want. Good luck

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.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

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 have been experimenting with painting over concrete furniture. It seems, in my experience, to have a long curing time, but once it has lost its tack, it seems really sturdy. I like it a lot. This is only experimental, I am using for art purposes, rather than what it is typically intended.

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.

Hi Angel When you are working with a tile like you need to seal the stone/grout so it helps lock it up and make it more resistant to staining. With a good quality stone and grout sealer it will help deal with dirt and grease. The better the quality of the sealer the more resistant it will be to staining.

I've only used this tape on canvas, but I think since most concrete is porous I think a tight seal would be difficult.I suggest a test try first. I have had some failures with this tape, but it worked better than other tapes I've tried.I also have had reasonable results with just plain masking tape which is cheaper and more easily available.

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.

I really don't know about stains on concrete. I do know that it is amazing for treating dog and cat stains on carpet and gets rid of the horrible smell.

I am no expert with regards to concrete sealants, however based from all the threads that I've read, since you have a EPOXY paint on the driveway and the BD is a water based sealer, it will only be a waste of money to do that, the BD will just wash off, since your putting it on top of a epoxy. You have to strip the epoxy concrete paint then apply the BD sealer. I hope this helps :D
