Hi, I'm just wondering how long it will keep that wet look for? I used Thompson's one coat patio and block paving seal to seal my Indian sandstone. The first few days it looked brilliant but now it's faded and looks back to it's chalky, lack of colour self

@aemackintosh 4 жыл бұрын

I’m not totally sure, although I have had customers come back to me year after year for a quick clean up and re-application to restore the colour. So perhaps it’s understandable that an area in full sun is likely to fade across the summer. But Resiblock is considered the no1.😃👍🏼

Liam Dilks Sodium Hypochlorite gets rid of the black spots usually. But Indian Sandstone is a very dense material, and the more dense the surface is the harder it can be to get clean. That’s why I think it’s a great approach to protect it with a sealant.😃👍🏼

Hello, 1)How soon after can we apply the sealant once the patio has been laid? 2) How many coats required? 3) Do I need to wash the patio couple times before sealing it? It seemed the colour of the stones when pack was opened was very pale, after being laid and washed once and dried, colours are much better. We went for Mint Indian sandstone. I will really appreciate your help. Thank you for the video. Very useful!

@aemackintosh 4 жыл бұрын

Shona Patel The patio needs to be allowed to settle for 6-8 weeks before it is sealed. 2 coats is normally recommended. You want to make sure it’s as clean as can be before it’s sealed so you might want to clean it a day or two prior to application of the sealant. Every patio is slightly different, but the Colour Enhancer is great for making the colour stand out. As a guide, you might say that the colour will be similar to when the patio is wet.😃👍🏼

Great video mate, quick question, after you pressure washed the patio did you leave it a week or so to thoroughly dry? I only ask as ive got a new patio (well new last year) and ive just pressure washed it so wondering how oong to leave it before i apply the Resiblock colour enhacer sealer? Also should i wait untio we actually get a summer for it to dry properly or does in not matter too much? Cheers 🍻 Chris

@aemackintosh 28 күн бұрын

Yeah, you might want to leave it for a good couple of days to dry out. The best thing to do would be to give Resiblock a call and get their official advice, they have a great help line.👍🏼

@chrisperry5244 28 күн бұрын

@aemackintosh cheers for the advice buddy, il give them a call. I read there online instructions but I need to call them and ask about the easy joint pointing I've done and whether it's OK to use the sealer over that or just do the slabs. I've seen a few ppl on Amazon moaning that the sealer has wrecked their patios but I'm guessing it's down to them not following the instructions and guidelines. Thanks again for the advice and great videos 👌🍻

Hi all, don't ruin your patio with this snake oil. I bought 2 tins and applied 18 months ago in the right conditions and as per instructions. When you first apply the sealant, you feel like you've died and gone to heaven as the finish is excellent. The colour pops and the grain in the stone comes alive. Beautiful. THEN, 6 months later and the first frost drops. You start to notice small patches of bare stone. Then more. Then more. As the brighter weather dawns upon you, you start to see mirky patches appear and it looks like your stones are dirty. Then you see swirly stains where the sealant has adhered to to the stone and it looks horrific. All in all, this has ruined our beautiful stone and I'm currently researching sealant removers. I'm honestly, genuinely gutted to be writing this but, after speaking with other people, it seems that once the sealant is applied, the reviewer leaves glowing reports of how magical this stuff is only to be hit with the realisation that it's a short term high and a very long and expensive low. I was once one of those rave reviewers. I'm not saying all sealers are bad, but Resiblock is a horror waiting to happen. Happy to share photos with people if you need.

@@dannyminor4647 Hi Danny, we are in the same boat. We spent around 7/8k on a new patio. Grey limestone (Indian sandstone colour enhancer would work the exact same we were told by Resi Block) . We also thought it would be a great idea to seal the patio with the colour enhancer. We left no stone unturned when it came to applying and following instructions. We are having the same issue as you described. It started to get dirty as time goes on etc. We decided it was time for a jet wash (bog standard karcher) this started to peal the seal. As it stands we are left with a patchy awful looking patio. I am in the process of writing a long email with pictures to Resi Block to see what they can do to rectify the problem. Looks great and first then just gets awful.

Not really. It does enhance the colour in a similar way like when it is wet. It can perhaps have a slight sheen to it when it is first done, but I definitely would say it’s not high gloss. I hope that helps.

I think this may have only been about 15litres if I remember rightly. It’s worth getting plenty to make sure you have enough to complete the job. It goes a long way. I think it’s well worth sealing a patio like this to protect it. It can be hard to get clean if it’s left to get really bad.😬👍🏼
