QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Can this product be used to seal a below grade foundation?
We would not reccomend using this product for sealing below grade. This is a sealer for decorative concrete giving a gloss finish. For basement walls, i would suggest Lithi-Tek 9500 (https://www.theconcreteandcurbing.com/collections/ghost-shield/products/ghostshield-lithi-tek-9500-concrete-sealer-densifier).

If the floor is clean, you can go over the existing super diamond clear, with another coat of super diamond clear. If you want to go with the 8510, you will need to pressure wash or strip the existing sealer. Super Diamond Clear is not oil resistant so oil stains will eat away at your coat of sealer.

I have a stamped concrete patio that had the Super Diamond Clear applied about three years ago. Is it safe to apply another coat of the same sealer on it now? I know the surface must be clean. Will pressure washing and scrubbing with a brush be good enough? Or do I need to do more prior to reapplying the new sealer?
Sounds like you have a good plan! You can soften the existing sealer with xylene as an added step, but as a general rule, solvent based sealer to solvent based sealer is good for re-application.
-
I have an exposed aggregate front porch that was sealed in 2008. When removing a stain this past winter, the cleaner removed the seal from one small area of our porch. If I ensure the porch is free of dust and is dry, can I simply apply another coat of Super Diamond Seal or do I need to strip the old sealant off the porch first? Will the new coat bond to the coat that is already on the porch?
If your porch was sealed with a solvent based sealer previously, you can usually go back over top with a solvent based sealer provided it is clean and dry. You can soften the old sealer by spraying with xylene, and then apply your new coat.

I placed Super Diamond Clear on my large new exposed agg patio 2 years ago. We get heavy snow and cold in northern Idaho. Is it too soon to give it a second coat? I also plan to put a hot tube on one end of the patio and thought it would be good to give it another coat before I place the tub? Also, now long does it take to ship to me in Idaho zip 83858? Thx
You can definitely apply another coat, just need to make sure it is clean so the coat will adhere to the existing. It also definitely wouldn't hurt to put a coat down before your hot tub goes in.

What product should I use to reseal my concrete driveway and stamped concrete patio. The concrete was put down 5 years ago. The sealer used by the contractor was very slippery when it rained or snowed on the surface of the stamped patio, the driveway was a broom finish so was fine. We live in Northeast Ohio if this helps.
For driveways, I typically recommend a penetrating sealer such as Siloxa-Tek 8510.
This is a natural finish and won't be slippery when wet.
For stamped concrete, you need an acrylic sealer to protect the color. Since you are in Ohio, you have some VOC restrictions, so you would need a low VOC sealer such as Cryli-Tek 5505.
For reducing the slickness when wet, you can add Shur Grip -
Can you recommend a non toxic cleaner that won't kill my plants to prep the surface for application? Also, would Super Diamond Clear work on a exposed aggregate that is 20 years old but still in good condition? Can you send me the application instructions? Thanks, Paul
Typically you only need a pressure washer to clean the surface to prep for application. Super Diamond Clear does work well on exposed aggregate. Here is a link to the Tech Data

I'm going to seal my garage floor. Trying to protect from tire marks and chemicals. Friend recommended super diamond clear. Is that the best choice product? Is two coats suggested vs one?

I had a partial one gallon can of diamond clear in my garage. Age unknown. Gave it to my aunt to cover a cement angel she received. She painted the entire angel with the contents (which had become black over time). She called me today asking what to do because her angel is black and looks awful. Thoughts?
The sealer was black or the angel was black? Either way, i would strip the sealer off using Uni-Stripp and once all of the sealer is removed, wash the angel to remove any other dirt or mildew left behind. If the black is gone and the angel is clean, i would then re-seal with new sealer.
-

-
Is it possible to add a color to this sealer for a driveway and sidewalks? If so, what type of color?

We recently had a front porch poured and a sidewalk. Our contractor only used a sprayer to apply this sealer. Our concern is that when it rains the water only “beads” up in a certain spot and the rest it appears to just be soaking into the concrete. Should we apply a 2nd coat ourselves?
You certainly can. It's very easy to apply. Can use a short nap roller and make sure you get even coverage. As long as it's clean, you can put a second coat of this over top of the first coat without issue.
-
Should the exposed aggregate be fully cured and dry before applying this product?
This is a cure and seal so can be used as soon as any bleed water is gone.
-
Am I able to use this product directly on concrete that was lightly ground with a hand grinder?
Yes. As long as it is clean and dry
-
how long will the product last before resealing
Depends on a few factors such as exposure, traffic and application. If you can let me know what you are trying to seal, and where you are located, I can definitely make a reccomendation

Can you paint over this sealer? Can you use this on Sandstone?

When my house was built, the builder said to seal the driveway after 2 years. I used everclear sealer. I don't know whether it was the Diamond or super diamond. However, it's time for me to seal the driveway again. The driveway is aggregate; what product would be best to seal it with. I will also be sealing a concrete patio. Will the product I use on the aggregate driveway work for the concrete patio as well?
Yes it sure will.

Some of the super diamond got into pool water. How to get it out? Is it an oil product? What do you mean by "solvent"?
It should float on the water being oil based. Could try and find where it is floating and soak it up or skim it out. Solvent based is basically the same as oil based.
-
What can I use to remove it from my concrete patio if it accidentally dripped off my sprayer tip and made a dollar sized puddle about a saltine cracker thick? I tried just using water but it just bounced off it.
Xylene will soften it. May need a scraper to get it off the concrete.

-
As long as it was a solvent based sealer and was sealed a few years ago, is it fine to put a fresh coat of super diamond clear over it? I used xylene and power washed the old coating off but am worried a little bit may remain in some spots.
Typically yes, this is perfectly fine.
-
When apply the concrete sealer on a concrete driveway pad, does it make it slippery at all. Such as when it rains, is wet?

What sealer for a 3 yr old driveway that has some dusting and spalling. He does not want any sheen just natural. Want to stop the fusing and spalling thanks
I would start with a densifier, like Lithi-Tek 4500, then follow up with a penetrating sealer such as Siloxa-Tek 8505.
This will protect the driveway for many years to come. -

Hi , I make a new concrete driveway plain in south Florida, this is the correct product to use ? What is the look . Semi gloss , satin or flat ? We need two coats ?

I would suggest Siloxa-Tek 8505 -
Do you have a matte finish sealer for a painted (Xcel Top Coat 100% acrylic high solids) concrete pool deck? Thank you.
Typically, concrete sealer wont adhere to a painted surface. If it was a bare concrete surface, we would have a couple options but unfotunately not for painted.

I’m looking to seal my concrete walk way and I don’t want a shiny slick finish, what should I use. Also I want to tint the sealer , what Coker’s do you have.
To tint a sealer, it needs to be a surface sealer which can get slippery when wet. You can add grip to the sealer to make it less slippery. Let us know where you are located and we can give you a couple options.

A contractor sprayed this product on my driveway yesterday, but it started raining about an hour after application and it rained all night. Is this an issue? Does he need to redo it?

Concrete driveway poured couple days ago - sprayed on WR Meadows CS-309-25 (cure and seal). Recommended before winter doing 1 coat of Super Diamond Clear. Am not looking for something that provides a shine, but something to protect the concrete year round, including Wisconsin winters and salt. What do you recommend? Available in 1 gallon? Thanks.
I would recommend a penetrating sealer over a surface sealer as it will protect better against salt.

Is super diamond clear 350 better than super diamond clear? Because I use super diamond clear and within 2 months it is dull again. And I use this on my stamped concrete.
The 350 means it is compliant with VOC limitations in some states. The finish is the same.
Are you using one or 2 coats?
