H2Seal H2100 All Purpose Penetrating Stone Sealer -Professional Grade Indoor/Outdoor -For Natural Stone, Concrete, Tile, Grout –Protection for Pool Decks, Patios, Pathway H2100 (1 Qt)

Okay, if you knew me, you would know that I hate admitting that I'm wrong. My first review said "It does not work." But after the rains, I realized it works great. The water just beaded up on my tile patio table, just the way I wanted it.The instructions say that more than one coat could possibly darken what you are coating, but I found that not the case. I put on three coats thinking the product was too thin and watery, not realizing that it's actually doing it's job.The only drawback is that it doesn't actually put a shine on the table, which I was hoping for. But waterproof is good enough!

I have a pretty tiny outdoor patio, maybe 100 sq ft but it still needs waterproofing. I thought I’d take a chance on this one.One coat goes down easy but a second coat leaves white spots everywhere. Additionally the finish is an extreme matte, which means you can’t even tell that you did anything.Turns out I had enough left over Thompsons to put a nice shiny coat on top.

I love my flowers, and have them in beds and containers, but watering all the plants I have in containers every day due to moisture loss is a pain, so I applied a coat inside and out to some, and only outside to others – and it works! Holds moisture so much better and I water far less. I used a paint brush, and did a rather sloppy-fast job, too. No shine, no change in color on painted plaster, terra cotta, or concrete.While applying it, I spilled a bit on the concrete walkway. It rained that evening and the spill area remained white, with only water on the surface, whereas the rest of the walk was dark with water. It later dried to all the same color again, of course. So we power washed the filthy walkway and applied this sealer… it stays white during rains now. Amazing!Love the fact that brushes and spray containers are washable with soap and water after using this.

This stuff was easy to apply with very little odor. I followed the directions which were quite simple and used three coats on our freshly grouted shower. After the product had dried I took a fine sprayer bottle and misted the walls. The water immediately absorbed into the grout. So as far as I can tell there was no protection given by this product whatsoever. I had seen reviews stating as much but hoped that the majority of positive reviews would prove this to be a good product. I was wrong and wasted a lot of time. I ended up running to Ace in our town and found a silicone sealer that worked after two coats.

I looked for ages for something that would give my outdoor travertine marble tables a smooth sheen... apparently the answer was that it needed to be cut/prepared differently and no top-coat is going to do that for me. So I bought this. Honestly I have no idea if it worked or what it's doing for me... I pressure-washed the tables clean, applied this after they'd dried for a day, and they seemed to get dirty/soiled at the same rate as before. Maybe not? Maybe the grime came off easier when I pressure-washed it earlier this summer again? It felt the same, but who knows. Enough people have left five-star reviews on this that I suspect I'm the one who doesn't get it. Also, bottle arrived leaking and much of the label/instructions had turned to pulp--I looked them up online so am pretty sure I got it right, but it was a big mess to clean up.
