The Stone-X™ can be used on a daily to weekly basis. It can be used daily to penetrate and dissolve oil and grease residues, removing streaks from surfaces. We recommend using Strongman-W™ to be used twice a year, or any time the surface has been scoured with an abrasive material. Treated surfaces become more durable and less slippery. Continued use also prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on interior and exterior stone and ceramic surfaces.

A glazed tile is already stain proof, so there is no purpose to putting on a sealer. You may put a penetrating sealer on your unglazed tile or your grout joints. The penetrating sealer is an invisible, stain resistant shield that is absorbed into the surface. See similar questions...

Nitro is often called a "thin skin" as it really allows the guitar to resonate freely. It has a superior feel and a super glossy look to it. Poly is almost like a thin layer of plastic. It feels tacky and doesn't allow the guitar to resonate very well. Most companies use poly because its faster to work with. See similar questions...

If thinning is needed, use the thinner recommended on the label. If strong solvent is added, uneven gloss, wrinkling, and dissolving of previous coatings are only a few of many problems that can be caused. All thinner must evaporate from a coating before a film can begin to cure. Solvent is normally added to change consistency for different application methods. See similar questions...

GemSeal is made of a blend of high grade ball clays, water, refined coal tar and proprietory emulsifier milled into a coal tar emulsion to generate a paint like coating which insulates the petroleum-based asphalt from potential petroleum spillage and reduces the normal aging cycle of the asphalt.

Before is usually best. It is much easier to touch up the odd scuff on the skirting caused by the edger (although ours have a protective Velcro strip on the front) than try to protect your newly-varnished floor or re-do new lacquer where it has been scratched by ladders or splashed with paint.

No. Dustless sanding is promoted by a company that makes large vacuums that are installed in trucks. They reduce the dust, but it is not dustless. See similar questions...

When you sand a floor, you get to a new layer of wood, and unless the damage to the wood was too severe, you also sand out the imperfections. What you lose by sanding, is between 1/32 and 1/16 inch of wood thereby reducing the lifespan of your floor. See similar questions...

Cheryl: Sanding sealer is common and found anywhere stains and paints are sold. I like BullsEye because it dries in 15 min or so. Minwax takes a little longer but they're all pretty similar. As far as oils, I find Australian Timber oil (True Value Hardware, Menards, Home Depot) to be far too expensive, when you can get McKloskey transparent deck oil for $14/gal or so (Walmart). Realize that deck/wood oils are not big sellers in winter, so you may have some difficulty finding them until spring. See similar questions...

Yes, in time, all decks need some TLC! As part of our services, we always sand our decks after power washing them to remove any raised fiber or small splinters. See similar questions...

RadonSeal penetrates the deepest (up to 4 inches) into concrete, reacts chemically, bonds and strengthens it. It seals sound concrete against water, vapor and radon gas. It provides the tightest seal and is permanent. The surface does not change, does not bead water, and remains paintable. LastiSeal penetrates very deep (2–4 inches) and hardens inside the concrete or bricks. It is manly designed for waterproofing. Unlike RadonSeal, it does not depend on the content of cement.

We have professional applicators available in some areas. Please contact us and advise your location. However, our products are designed for an easy do-it-yourself installation. Get a relative to do it or hire a handyman. The 4 pCi/L level is not a "safe" level. Radon gas is dangerous at any level. If this is a home for your family, you should always try to reduce radon to a minimum, particularly if you have children. See similar questions...

Again, depending on your deck's exposure to direct sunlight and precipitation elements, we recommend redoing the job anywhere from one to two seasons apart. Clear sealants are mainly water repellents that don't carry UV light protection. They have no trans-oxide pigments in their formulae that filter out damaging sun light. Colored products carry all the benefits of deck protection, including a UV light inhibitor. (General rule: the more color, the more pigment, the more UV protection) See similar questions...

Over-applying deck products is the worst thing you can do! They will never dry, or they will penetrate the deck, leaving a tacky residue all the time (that oily mess that you can track into the house!). All products are applied in different methods, but most are done with one full coat. See similar questions...

All sealers and stains are applied according to the manufacturer recommendations. They can be sprayed, brushed or rolled depending on the product and the specific deck. Some products require one coat and some require two. Please ask if you have questions regarding a particular product. See similar questions...

Pavement sealer is a water based product consisting of refined coal tar, clay, mineral fillers and water. The protective features of refined coal tar combined with the re-enforcing effect of mineral fillers results in a flexible, protective coating when applied to asphalt pavements.

Your choice of sealer depends on the look you wish to achieve. All sealers will inhibit stain penetrations; some will provide a high sheen or gloss while others will only enhance the color and provide little to no sheen. See similar questions...

It's an autobody product similar to household caulk but much more durable. It adheres well to most surfaces and is paintable. It's not recommended to use household caulk especially those that contain silicon on repairs. Straight latex caulk, although not as durable, can be used in a pinch. Paint adheres to it better. But for best results, head to your paint and autobody store and get some seam sealer. 3M makes a very good seam sealer. See similar questions...
