Any of you have stamped concrete and had to re-finish the sealer? Have to do mine this spring, just wondering if any of you have had to do it and what brand you may have used. Most of the big box stores have some, but they don't seem to rate very good. Thanks!

Go to a Landscape stone supplier and get from there. Tell what you're wanting to do and they can hook you up. The high gloss is usually slippery when it gets wet, try the non gloss or natural finish.

Had the high gloss applied when the concrete was put in, I like the look of it. I'll check out some of the local landscape suppliers and see what they have. Thanks, OH!

You can add a substance to your sealant that will make it less slippery, but still look glossy. I think it's called shark grip, if memory serves.

Try Kure and Seal 30. Concrete or block distribution companies usually carry it. It's high gloss.

When I have questions about concrete or masonry, I call these guys:
Rio Grande
I don't know if you'll be able to order the sealer from them, but I always find their people to be knowledgeable and helpful.

If it has already been sealed don't apply more sealer, use this http://www.tkproducts.com/products/solvents/TDS/TK12.pdf

It breaks down the old sealant and make it look like new.
