STONETECH Enhancer Pro Sealer, 1 Gallon (3.8L) Bottle

I used this product on travertine around my pool. It is easy to apply and works great. It slightly deepened the color of the tiles so if you're looking to drastically change the color, this won't do that. Yes, it's expensive but the water now runs right off my tile and I don't have to worry as much about spilling things that may stain. Now that I’ve used this product on two different pool surrounds I should update my review. First, I’m in Arizona. Most of the summer it’s over 100 degrees every day. Not the best conditions for a stone sealer. To be honest, after two years it needs to be recoated. It loses some of its water repellancy and loses most of its enhancing properties. That said, it’s still the best thing I’ve used for my situations. I tried water based products on other surrounds and their life is about a year or less. So, this product is much better. The other thing that I can’t stress enough is that this product doesn’t overly darken your stone. Yes, it does enhance but some of the reviews I’ve read on here seem to indicate that people expect their stone to greatly darken. DONT buy this product if you’re expecting the stone to darken several shades. Good product. One more update. It’s now been on for nearly two years on my newer pool. I’m probably going to have to recoat. Arizona heat is tough on everything outside so I guess it’s understandable. One more thing, I’ve seen other reviews and want to make sure everyone understands that this product is NOT a water based product. It takes more time for it to completely dry. Depending on the humidity, it could take 48 hours or more to completely dry. If you walk on it prior, obviously you’ll leave a footprint. Also, it soaks in differently on the tile depending on how porous it is. Mine is travertine and there are some areas in the tiles where it’s more porous than other areas in the same tile. You will need to make sure you’re putting enough product on.

This stone enhancer works great on natural tile, stone, travertine, etc. I use it on travertine arounds my pool and naural stone in the bar of my waterfall. It soaks into the stone and if you get too much on will glob up so use a rag to wipe when wet immediately and then keep checking and do small areas you can reach. I start off with a rag and a pan and trim around the edges and bull nose being careful not to get it in the pool. Then I used a roller to finish the job being carefil not to put on too heavy. I added sand to prevent the kids from slipping since travertine os a bit slick. Make sure you mix well every time you add more sealant to the pan. This product does amazing thinks with the color, bringing out all kinds of secret colors and highlights. The smooth parts of the stone are a bit shiny and the color rich. My neighbors used a cheaper sealant and regretted it as soon as they say our lanai. It is definitely worth the price. The only problem I see is that we are reseal in every year, this is the third year. I was hoping to get 2 years out of it. I would definite recommend this product for anyone looking for quality. Even though the product is expensive if you do it yourself it is cheaper than paying someone else to use a cheaper product.

Expensive but it enhances the color nicely. It covered about 400 sq feet but I feel it would benefit from a second coat to really bring out the best in the stone. If you are looking for the wet look, this is not the product. It goes on very smoothly. I cannot attest to its protection capabilities as I just put it down recently.

The new water based formula is not nearly as good as the old solvent formula. I will be looking for something different in the future

used this for the flagstone around my pool that had turned chalky white and the stone was starting to crumble a little. I felt like the stone was starting to erode away, and just looked very dull. started researching an item that would both enhance the color and seal it. Mind you, I had never sealed the stone before, I didn't even know I would need to do this. This was my project (not my husband's), and being a female who doesn't do these sort of home projects often, I found it relatively easy. you do need to be careful and not drip the product on the concrete as you will notice it later. I just used a brush and slathered it on, trying to be neat. the directions say to go back a short time later and wipe up the 'excess' with a cloth...I guess flagstone is very porous because there was no excess for me to really wipe us. I attached a before and after pic, and even my husband was really impressed and glad I decided to fork out the money to do this. it took an entire evening, but got it done just fine. only did one coat, may go back with another later in the year. the water now 'beads up' when the water splashes on it. EDIT: a few months after we used this, we noticed the liner on our pool had seriously faded in spots near where we had used this. I was gutted to see this! So sadly I will never use this again as, if it falls into the pool, I truly believe it will fade away the liner.

This product essentially performed as advertised in application. I did a flagstone deck here in Central Texas that is about 330 sq. ft. eschewing a non-functioning garden sprayer and brushing the product on in small (4' x 4') segments. The enhancer quality of the product has really brought out the subtleties and character in the stone. A rainfall a week after application showed the products ability to repel liquids like a newly waxed car finished. The only other aspect of the product, longevity, will not be known until much later, but I am pleased with Stonetech at this point.

-SLATE- This was a great product would use again and again on slate. I applied with a paint brush 2 seperate heavy coats and let eat coat sit for 20-30min (do not let coats get dry on the slate, keep wiping slate with brush to keep wet, if you have to large of an area you may want to do in sections) then wipe clean with dry clean cloth/s, I waited about 30mins between the 2 coats. 24hrs later it will look like all the colors in the slate come out dark and rich with a wet look with out the glossy appearance. Hope this helps. & Many Happy Sealings.....

Total product failure with text book application technique. StoneTech Professional Rich Color Enhancer Pro Sealer turned my Natural flagstone pool coping milky white. I was refused by the manufacture representative to honor the written product guarantee that reads “If not satisfied with product performance when used specifically as directed, return product to point of purchase for refund or replacement, or contact DuPont StoneTech professional at 1-888-786-6343.” When presented photos and request for technical support Laticrete (who bought out DuPont StoneTech) employee Jennifer Aleman hypothesized potential explanations for product failure and provided ways to remove the silicone/siloxane but reinforced that there are no guarantees of the products performance due to its two year half life. I further communicated to Jennifer that the product had no expiration date nor product shelf life listed on the label or in the description when purchased. I explained that the product was stored indoors in its original sealed container as our Pool Coping was restored. I asked her to research for a bad batch as there are others who appeared to have similar results as myself. I asked to take advantage of my product guarantee and have my $194.93 purchase price refunded. I have yet to hear back from Jennifer Aleman or Laticrete.
