* In my opinion
If you saw my first review on this product you would know that I wasn't too happy with it at first. But then it grew on me. Now I'm really happy with it.
First and foremost, this is an Acrylic Wet-Look Concrete Sealer. It is also a Cure and Seal. The first part... the Acrylic is just another term for, well, glue. If you look at all the glue products on the market today you will find that 90% or more are acrylic based. And in the case of any concrete surface sealer, a glue is a very good thing. Think about it. Is there anything better that you could pour on your driveway than glue? What properties do glues possess? They Stick. They Bond and They Resist Moisture. All things that are beneficial.
Next, Wet Look is attractive because most people like things that are shiny. I know I do. In case you were wondering, I'm not a reviewer by trade. I do it because I like to showcase good products like this one. I also feel an obligation to the opposite but that's another story. What I do for a living, other then collect social security, is create very colorful Planting Pots as the hands and student of a Very Big Name in the theological crowd. The point is that I use this product in a way for a different material than what was intended at its creation. But the material is a cement/concrete product that needs sealing just as much as a driveway or patio. One does not want pots to leak out of the sides any more than an upper deck to leak into the kitchen below. They must be sealed as well. And getting back to the Wet Look part, these pots look very nice with that treatment.
Now for a quick look back, here's how my first review ended:
But there is an upside to acrylic... the finish is to die for. 3 coats of it will give you a mirror gloss that will rival any fired pot on earth. I must have that look on my pots without question. So what do I do? I have to live with the marks INSIDE the pot from the glue to get the shine on the OUTSIDE. I have no choice and if you were me you'd do the same!
And just in case you were wondering, there are no marks on the pots anymore because we overcame that obstacle with a little bit of ingenuity.
Now to the last part... Cure and Seal. OK we already went through the seal part. But the cure??? That's the really cool part of this product. And no one else does it! This will help cure green porous concrete and concrete pavers. Now how's that for a complete product? You don't even have to wait for your slab or pavers to cure before you can seal them now. Nor do I have to wait for my pots to cure before I can seal them either. This is an amazing product and I'm here to tell you that the price point beats or exceeds 75% of their competition. And last but not least, the competition that comes in under them isn't competition at all because you see I've tried all there is to try out there and those cheaper ones? They just don't compare! That's why I use Foundation Armor WB25.
