Thompson's Patio & Block Paving Seal Wet Look 5L (878953)

Product Information

Like water-based sealers, solvent-based sealers are also mixed with either acrylic or polyurethane resin. Instead of water, these resins are mixed with solvents like xylene.

The liquid has a low enough viscosity to apply with a paint/fence sprayer, which seems to produce better results compared to using a roller. Using a sprayer is also more economical in terms of product usage. At least two, if not three coats will be required, and it takes at least three hours before the next coat can be applied. It comes as 2 x 5 L bottles, which, according to the manufacturer, is sufficient to cover 100 m ² (each bottle covers 50 m²). However, in reality it is unlikely to achieve such expansive coverage.To seal the patio without changing the appearance of the stones, you might want to look for an ‘impregnating sealer’ . These are absorbed into the porous stones instead of sitting on top of them. The 25 L bottle of solvent-free, acrylic coating is very reasonably priced considering its coverage, and it creates a good finish on the patio. Gloss sealers can offer a range of finished, from a light sheen, to a ‘wet look’, to high gloss. Most people who are looking for a relatively subtle gloss on their patio want to achieve the ‘wet look’. This is designed to replicate the richer, darker appearance that paving gains after rainfall. As you can see, using paving sealant can extend the life of your patio, as well as improve its appearance. Clean Up:Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before cleaning. Clean brushes, rollers and other equipment immediately after use with white spirit or brush cleaner. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings. Do not empty product into drains or watercourses.

The 5 L container is sufficient to cover an area of approximately 40 m ² (with one coat), although this also varies depending on the porosity of the stones. It’s quite a runny liquid, and a lot can go a long way. It can be applied with either a sprayer, brush or roller, with a sprayer generally being the most economical method. Approximately two hours are needed between coats. The Bond It Patio Paving Sealer is also relatively effective against the growth of mould and algae.
