Dry treat ole repella can also be used albeit it doesn't last as long.

If you want the stone to appear natural and stay exactly the same I would use Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold. If you want to enhance it and give it a wet look I would use Aqua Mix Enrich N Seal both on the link below.

For a slightly less expensive alternative try this one:

Why? Have you tried both products? I have tried and tested both and the Dry Treat is on a par with the LTP but it's not even in the same class as the Aqua Mix Enrich .'N Seal

Hi Kevin

dont want to get into a debate here but for the bennifit of other readers on here

How can you back up that aqua mix is a better quality sealer than dry treat.


 Cheers davy

Davy

We get asked from time to time to take different Sealers on to retail from our warehouse.  Prior to selling any product we extensively test it.  In the case of all Sealers we test them for ease of application,  things like smell, stain testing, clean up, appearance etc. That's how we know which Sealers perform. We are unique in that no product makes it to Tiling Logistics warehouse shelves unless we have thoroughly tested it.  The original concept of Tiling Logistics was to source products from all over the World for use in the Restoration business solely by us as there was no decent equipment for sale in the UK.  To this day 99% of all products we sell Marble Life Ltd use in the restoration business.

Have we forgotten that the posts on here are merely the writers humble opinion ?
don't get me wrong but I thoroughly enjoy the bitching  ;D
I've never sealed sandstone outside but I have inside and used Liberon products, but have never compared two products side by side so cannot offer any worthwhile constructive comment on this thread - sorry  ::)

If you give a opinion on something like this you need a reason why in this case his opinion is dry treat will be better all Kevin wanted to know is why?

The bloke who said it is in india and is flogging the leaky pipes link for a restoration website - he may be be an expert in indian sandstone but in the dry ! Ask how his sealer performs when exposed to frost as in my opinion is the test of a sealer on sandstone in the UK

And David has asked the same question of Kevin ??? has he not  ??? In Kevs response I didnt actually read an answer

Correct me if I am wrong but this side of the Forum is rapidly developing into Kevs market place ... fair play to Kev but is that what this forum is about i.e guys pushing products which they happen to supply  ???

Kev has answered the question we have tested them. What is more there warranty 15years is only valid when applied by a qualified applicator(dry treat).

If it makes people happy I will supply Dry Treat as well. I got asked for a reason and I gave it.  It would be the same as getting you to endorse Karcher! Would you????
