71% liked its flexibility
I needed to order more of the product because I had to do more grout areas, which shows its versatility for various areas.
79% appreciated its moisture resistance
This sealant is moisture resistant and prevents water from seeping through the grout joints on my travertine patio. Water beads up and flows off the patio.
I used silicone to seal the water pipe feed and any openings between the blocks and grout, and sealed most of the seams using clear silicone.
80% praised for its long shelf life, while 20% found it expired quickly
I have used this product without any problem in previous years. However, the manufacturer refused to guarantee the product sold through Amazon as outdated.
72% appreciated its wide temperature range, but 28% found it failed in extreme temperatures
After 1-3 hours, I had to repeat step 4 for a second coat, possibly due to the temperature range of the hardware-sealers.
I stored the product in temperatures below what is recommended, causing it to turn into a gel.
Sealing a marble-tiled shower was a miserable experience.
