FAQs

How long does it take for the sealer to dry?

The sealer typically dries to the touch within a few hours. However, avoid heavy traffic and water contact for 24-48 hours to allow full curing.

How often should I reapply the sealer?

Reapplication is recommended every 2-3 years, depending on traffic and weather conditions. Regular inspection will help determine the best time to reapply.

Can I use this sealer on other types of paving?

This sealer is specifically designed for block paving. Using it on other types of paving is not recommended without consulting the manufacturer.

What tools do I need to apply the sealer?

You'll need a watering can, a squeegee, a stiff brush for cleaning, and a container to pour the sealer into.

Is the sealer slippery when wet?

No, the sealer is designed to provide a non-slip surface when applied correctly.

How do I clean up spills?

Clean up any spills immediately with a cloth or paper towels. The solvent-free formula makes clean up easier.

Can I apply this sealer in cold weather?

It is best to apply the sealer in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in extreme heat or cold.

Troubleshooting

Sealer appears patchy after application.

Ensure even application with a squeegee and that the surface is completely clean and dry before applying. Ensure consistent application rate.

Weeds are still growing after application.

Ensure the sealer penetrated the joints adequately. Reapply the sealer, making sure to saturate the joints. Also, check for any areas missed during the initial application.

Sealer is not penetrating the joints.

Ensure the joints are clean and free of debris. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or residue before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: For new paving, apply as soon as possible after installation. For older paving, thoroughly clean the surface, removing any existing weeds, moss, oil, or stains. Ensure the paving is completely dry before application.
Application: Pour the sealer onto the surface in sections and use a squeegee to spread it evenly, allowing it to penetrate into the joints. Use a watering can to make the process easier.
Coats: Apply a second coat within one to two hours of the first coat.
Coverage: First coat: 1.5-2 m² per litre. Second coat: 4 m² per litre. Adjust the rate based on joint width.
Compatibility: Compatible with most types of block paving. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Avoid heavy traffic or contact with water for 24-48 hours after application to allow the sealer to fully cure. Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent can help maintain the appearance of the sealed surface.
