I applied first coat rolling in one direction and you could see the graininess in the sandstone stand out, the colours deepened slightly and I was very pleased with the overall look.

The instructions inform you that subsequent coats will increase the sheen which I may do sometime in near future. PatioSeal creates a layer over the stones that makes them easier to clean, and it can help repel dirt, water, and oil.

The acrylic solvent-based sealer offers a decent coverage of 2m 2 per litre on the first coat and 3.5m 2 on the second coat. You don’t have to worry about moss/weed/algae growth because the formulation features a biocide too. Pros
