The Top Sealer Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Paver Patio

[@durrelljohnson721]

Thanks! Out of dozens of videos I watched on sealing pavers, you are the 1st to warn against using on hot papers! Extremely important here in Florida! Again, thanks for looking out!

This video is awesome! Thank you for the helpful tips! Update - I followed your tips and my paver patio came out absolutely perfect! I especially love the condensation tip, that’s a neat trick! I used Polybind High Gloss Wet Look sealer. I used a pump sprayer then rolled it after. I did about 5foot by 12 foot sections at a time and used about 1.25 gallons for my 250ish square foot patio. The pavers were installed 60ish days ago and any impurities leached out since then.

That's great news! I'm glad we could help!

After doing a lot of research , what it comes down to is the product you use , went with Black Diamond Professional Grade Dominator series Sealer , That can be applied to moist surfaces with a sprayer . 23 yrs old paver came out looking like new .

I have sealed my porcelain paving but now when it rains the water just sits in pools and beads on top of them is this normal?

[@WesternInterlock]

We do not have experience with porcelain pavers but yes, that sounds normal for a sealed surface.

How in the WORLD do you get “dry” pavers or decking in south Florida. It rains every day here. I just put down 600sq ft of marble pool deck. I want to use miracle 511 seal and enhance but I can already see where there’s moisture in some of the marble pavers. It’s 70-80% humidity and never “dry” here…. What do I do?

[@WesternInterlock]

That a good question. Since we’re from the Pacific Northwest, I would recommend asking a local supplier in your area. What they recommend.

I plan on using Surebond 8700 wet look, I assume I can just a garden sprayer. I need to fix where these contractors failed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6bmWWQitZrbqM so figured I'd just fix this myself since they can't seem to do it right even coming out a second time in the shady area of my patio. I assume I can take the sand out here, refill it, then spray this on the cracks

[@social_euge5896]

I used the 8700 and it was not a great product. Poor outcome. Going to try the 9000 in a hope that it creates more of that wet look. The 8700 was not what the label advised in my situation

[@tddtv]

@@social_euge5896 oh good to know. Why do you say it wasn't great?

[@WesternInterlock]

Any solvent based sealer like SB8700 will be very hard on a garden sprayer so be prepared to only be able to use it once. Yes, you can remove the sand if you would like, and refill the joints and then reseal. Have you tried rolling it with Xylene?

[@social_euge5896]

@@WesternInterlock I rolled my pavers with the 8700 using a nap roller. 2 coats. It never dried as a wet look and as the winter moved in green algae already started adhering to the surface. Note I am in PNW. The product was not good in my situation. Trying the 9000 in a hope to get a more wet look to bring out the beauty of the pavers
