FAQs

How much area does a 1L container cover?

Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the stone, however, the product description does not specify this.

How long does it take for the sealer to dry?

Drying times can vary, but allow ample time between coats, typically a few hours in the recommended temperature range. Always refer to the product instructions.

Can this sealer be used on other types of stone?

This sealer is specifically designed for black limestone and slate surfaces. Using it on other types of stone may not provide the desired results.

How often should I reapply the sealer?

Reapplication frequency depends on wear and tear, and environmental conditions. Inspect the surface periodically and reapply when the color fades or protection diminishes.

Do I need to pressure wash before each reapplication?

Yes, always clean the surface before reapplying to ensure proper adhesion and performance.

Is this product safe for pets and children?

Once the sealer is fully dry, it is generally safe. However, avoid contact during application, and follow all safety guidelines. Refer to the product label for specific safety information.

What should I do if it rains shortly after application?

If rain occurs shortly after application, assess the surface. Light rain may not affect the result, but heavy rain can wash the product away. Reapply if necessary, ensuring a dry surface beforehand.

Where can I find the Smartseal Black Limestone Sealer?

The product is available from Smartseal and other retailers. The product description does not provide any information.

Troubleshooting

Sealer appears patchy after application.

Ensure even application with a roller, and apply a second coat if needed. Make sure the surface is completely dry before application.

Sealer doesn't seem to be protecting the surface.

Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry for 72 hours before application. Also, confirm that the application was done in the recommended temperature range.

Color is not as dark as expected.

Ensure that two coats were applied. The depth of color can be affected by the porosity of the stone; consider a third coat if necessary. Ensure the product has been mixed well before application.
