[QUOTE="ForMud, post: 685833, member: 12904"] That's 25% solids cure and seal ( The higher the solids content, the higher the gloss, 30% is about max ) Cure and seals are used right after the concrete has been finished. It helps with the curing and it also helps with stains, dust proofing end of it too. But the big difference between a cure and seal and a penetrating sealer is how long it's going to last before you have to reapply. In sunlight or where there's heavy foot traffic, you might need to recoat every two or three years. Think of it like nail polish...It mostly just sits on top and wears off over time. Where as a penetrating sealant works it way deeper into the concrete and and blocks liquid, dust and hardens the surface layer and is permanent so no need to reapply later. One other thing is the sealer above is a solvent based sealer....It's flammable and it stinks to high hell and is for outside only. Penetrating sealers have no smell and can be used both inside and outside. On a side note, stay away from water based sealers.....They don't work worth a ****. ( You'll be lucky to get a year out of it ) Easy way to tell the difference in the two is the water based come in a plastic bucket.....Solvent based come in metal buckets. [/QUOTE]
