Protective impregnating sealer to enhance the colour of Natural Stone

PREPARATION: Due to the effects of Efflorescence and Natural Salts and Minerals, that can permeate through Natural Stone, it is recommended not to seal for a minimum 4 months after installation.
Prior to application of sandstone sealer or natural stone sealer ensure surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry and free from contamination. If algae or stains are present pre-treat prior to cleaning with an appropriate cleaning product.
**If applied to a surface where a "sweep-in" pointing compound has been used within the last 6 months, the natural stone must be fully cleaned with Smartseal Residue Remover prior to sealant application.**
APPLICATION: A suitable pressure sprayer or roller is recommended taking care to avoid any pooling. Application on all substrates should be to full saturation and on vertical surfaces commence at the bottom and work upwards.
Remove any excess after approx 30 - 40 minutes.
- For best results, apply one coat to saturation, and once touch dry (normally around 45 min), apply a second coat "wet on wet" (which means before the 1st coat has totally dried)
- Do not apply in damp conditions
- Application temperature range: 15° to 23°C
- Shake container well before use.
All equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
SHELF LIFE: Store away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Protect from frost.
12 months (in original sealed container).
Q: After applying the initial two coats. Can another coat be applied a day or two afterwards if the patio is not enhanced enough ?
A: Thanks for the question. Ideally knowing the exact measurements will determine how much product would be needed for the job, if you were to apply another coat a few days later it should be fine but we would strongly advise to do a test area to ensure over application doesn't occur, potentially causing complications.
Q: Shall I use this sealer before or after sweeping kiln dried sand into the gaps? Will this seal the sand or do I need a different product? Will it affect the colour of the sand (enhance/darken)?
A: You can do either, although if you apply the colour enhancer after it has been sanded then there is a chance it may have a slight darkening effect on the kiln dried sand.
Q: Hi Can you confirm if this product requires dilution before using or is used undiluted ? Colour Enhancer Natural Stone Sealer. Thanks PK
A: The product must not be diluted and should be used neat at all times. Any dilution of the product will adversely effect performance.

Great product and price very easy to use sealer would defo order again very happy with smart seal products as this is my 3rd order
I used this sealer after previously cleaning my sandstone patio, seeing the brilliant colours appear, only for them to disappear when left exposed without any sealers over 1 winter. This sealer has certainly enhanced the colour without creating a glossy look, which is why I chose the Colour Enhancer over the Ultimate Enhancer. Water still beads on the surface of the stone so I am very optimistic about the colours looking good for longer. Highly recommended.
Used Xtreme cleaner on my patio could not believe the result cleaned it like new (and it was black/green) thought I would seal it with colour enhancer again could not believe the result have colours I didnt know I had better than new, contacted the company with a couple of questions and spoke to a friendly and knowledgeable human being brilliant!! Could not recommend this company and products used highly enough
