what do i use to seal clay pavers to a clear water tight finish?

Answer 1

Seal the exposed surfaces of the slab with a concrete sealing product according to the manufacturer's directions. After the coating dries, buff out the surface using a Scotchbrite pad. Then apply a coat of acrylic clear finish such as Minwax Polycrylic.

Answer 2

why do you need to? if you made the wrong choice of materials in the first place, well take it out and start again. sure you can probably find something that will work for a time, but nothing will really seal the cracks in between them for any extended period. you will wind up making them slick, and a bear to walk or drive on when wet. if properly installed in the first place, rain and such should not be a problem any way. my guess is you goofed it up and now are looking for an easy bail out. sorry charlie, no product made that is clear and easy to use will do such a job for any long period of time. anything you put on them will soak in and change the color anyway.

Answer 3

it is not recomended as they could become slippy when wet.
however see your local diy/ hardware store, for a product such as tompsons waterseal there were other branded sealers but my memmory of them is fadin. i used to work with these products daily in a retail environment, however that was 8 years ago sorry.

either way if you go to your local diy store or builders merchant they should have someone who can advise you.
not all products are available world wide. nor are they known by the same brand name world wide.

so this forume either needs more information as to your location or you need to just contact a local store.

i hope that helps a little.

Builders I know have always said it's best not to seal them at all, as they are built to last just as they are, and will not wear away, if genuine clay. But if you do, Matt will not make much difference to the look, whereas Glossy will make it look more like it has just rained or is wet. Either sealer will make them slightly more slippery in the wet.
