  • Two coats or one?

    Sealer applied in two coats dries and cures much better than one thick coat. Sealers are water-based, which cure through the process of water evaporation. A thin coat will release water much faster. A thick coat will hold water and stay soft for a longer period of time, possibly causing tracking.

  • Why do sealers peel?

    Peeling problems may be caused by the sealer not bonding to oil spots or any other surface contaminants.
