A sealer described as a ‘wet look’ sealer is usually a form of surface sealer which might darken stone as a by-product. They will often leave a satin or gloss finish as they are a surface sealer i.e. film forming. By nature ‘wet look’ sealers are a more unnatural way of sealing stone.

To highlight, enhance or intensify colour in natural stone there needs to be some colour present in the first place. The sealer is just giving the colour a ‘push’ to make it a little more noticeable.

Colour can just be in the form of a warm red/creamy tones, vaining or just differences in colour from one slab to another.

Grey sandstone like Kandla Grey cannot be colour enhanced very well (if at all), they also do not respond well to wet look surface sealers.

We recommend applying Floorseal Natural Stone Sealer Breathe to Kandla Grey or monotone grey sandstones.

For the removal of Black Spot Lichens, dirt and general organic contaminations on external stone use Floorseal Black Spot Remover Plus.

Use Floorseal Sealer Residue Remover to prepare the surface before sealing if you have used a resin-based brush in compound.

We believe Kandla Greys and sawn plain grey sandstones are best sealed with Floorseal Natural Stone Sealer Breathe This product will seal the stone but does not alter surface colour.

We have written an article about sealing Kandla Grey and plain sandstones – see our ‘how to guides’ at the top of the page.

It simply means you apply the product once and remove any excess after 20-30 minutes. Then apply again, approximately 40 minutes to an hour after the first application.

Even if the pavers are a little damp from the first application its fine to carry out the 2nd application.

This timing does not have to be exact. But the 2nd application should (ideally) be carried out on the same day as the first. But you can seal and add more sealer on at a later date if you wish.
