While it gives a glossy look, it can become slippery, turn yellow like this one, and will trap moisture over time. 😬 👉 For natural stone surfaces, the better choice is an impregnator sealer. ✅ It penetrates the stone to provide protection from within ✅ Maintains a natural or enhanced appearance ✅ Doesn't make the surface any slipperier than unsealed stone Bottom line: Use the right sealer for the proper application to protect your investment and avoid issues down the road! Do it right the first time so you don't have a yellow and white sealer or, to top it off, sealed in dirt and sand?. 💬 Have questions about sealing your pool deck or patio?
