NOTE: Glaze `N Seal Stone Sealant Impregnator is a water-based, “natural look” sealant that forms a barrier that resists moisture and stains – even oil! It is especially appropriate for high traffic areas and in food preparation and serving areas where maximum stain resistance is desired. For denser surfaces or when water resistance is a concern, (such as granite counter tops or a shower area), we recommend Glaze ‘N Seal’s solvent base Stain Defense Sealer be used instead of Stone Sealant Impregnator.
OPTIONAL APPROACH: If color enhancement is desired consider using (Glaze ‘N Seal Stone Color Enhancer a penetrating, non-film forming sealer that will enhance a porous surface). Read directions carefully and ALWAYS test first.
