I’m not sure I would use balck motor oil, however if you want to go that way call me or Fred and we can tell you how to darken sealers using bolied linseed oil. If you do use boiled linseed oil mixed with a solvent based sealer

BE CAREFUL THE BOILED LINSEED OIL HAS A LOW FLASH POINT. DON’T EVEN LET APPLICATOR OR ANTHING WITH THE SEALER AND THE LINSEED OIL IN YOUR TRUCK OR WAREHOUSE IT WILL BURN!!!!!!

Subject: [sccpartners] Impala Black granite

We have a customer with a lot of Impala Black on their landscape boxes and pillars. The bottom of the stone has a bit of spalling and has turned to a a light color. They are hoping to have this refinished.

It is about 10 years old and has never had any maintenance done. I believe that the light color may be effloresence, but is right next to a walk and driveway that is salted in the winter.

I’m looking for suggestions to save the customer having to replace the stone. They are not expecting it to look perfect, but would like the color back.

See attached picture

Thank you

Jeff Williams
