Frequently asked questions
Are solvent-based sealers slippery?
Penetrating formulas do NOT create a slippery surface. Companies other than StoneSealer often refer to acrylic sealers when speaking about solvent based sealers, which is slippery when wet and does not last as long.
Can I use solvent-based sealers indoors?
Absolutely, when using the Stain-Proof Sealers all were intended for both indoor or outdoor use. When using in a confined area, always use PPE and ventilate the area, if unsure how consult a professional installer here: Professional Installer Near Me
Do solvent-based sealers smell?
They have a noticeable odor — always ventilate and use PPE. All Stain-Proof Sealers use VOC exempt Solvents.
Do they last longer than water-based?
Generally speaking for penetrating sealers, yes, and when choosing a Stain-Proof brand sealer the solvent based options typically come with longer term warranty options.
