Thanks Stu,<br>The floor is only 1.5 yrs new.  He wants it sealed.  I do have the SCC solvent sealer, but I am trying to move older stock.  Is the water-based sealer good enough in an outdoor setting?<br>Barry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr"><div>Agree with fred-most lighter travertines  wont take much sealer so the color enhancer generally doesnt have much of an effect.</div><div>If you need to turn around the stock you could always use it sparingly and make sure you clean 100% of the residue off.</div>

<div>Any stains in the surface now ? How many years old is the install?That may help you make the decision but if your customer wants it sealed and pays you have product on hand!!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5">

Also, would anyone recommend the SCC water-based sealer.  I have a few gallons of that too!<br>Thanks,<br>Barry<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Thank You,<br>Barry V Raduta<br>Diamond Stone &amp; Tile Care-South<br>
