The water-based acrylic coating can be used on paths, patios, natural stone and concrete, protecting the surfaces from rain, oil, sun and organic growth. It gives quite a glossy finish, especially when two or three coats are applied. However, if your patio is quite porous, you may find that with just one coat it’s still relatively matt. Whereas the majority of sealers leave a mid to high-gloss finish, the Pro-Kleen PatioSeal barely alters the appearance of the stones. This makes it one of the best patio sealers on the market if you want to achieve a matt look on your patio. 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.
