As soon as its Shiny, you have to go topical.

 

There are many , here is two

 

one is called SSA from Lithofin, another could be Laquer From Stone tech.

 

The trick to get an even finish is to seal it using a cheap impregnator first.

 

Benefits

1-      You get a more uniform shiny finish in 2 coats

2-      When the topical does wear, you do have a base coat protecting it s well

 

It’s much like using a primer when you paint, costs less in finishing paints and does a better covering job.

Subject: [sccpartners] Finish for Exterior Sandstone

 

I have a customer who has about 1000 square feet of sandstone in a flagstone design, on a

cement slab and with mortar joints. The installation is outside on a covered patio. The

residence in located in New Mexico along the Rio Grande river and the water table is

about 8 – 10 feet. The owner want a finish on the sandstone and she’s being very specific

about what she wants. I not aware of any products that would meet her expectations, so

I thought I would ask for recommendations.

 

 Here’s what she wants:

 

1.)    The stone darkened “wet look”

2.)    The stone sealed

3.)    A shinny finish

 

All of the products that I’m aware of are topical and will not allow vapor transmissions.

I see problems with applying anything other than a penetrating sealer or enhancer.

 

Any recommendations would be greatly  appreciated, work is scarce here and I want to

explore every possible job.

 

Thanks,
