About Siloxa-Tek 8500 Ready to Use - 1 Gallon Penetrating Concrete Sealer
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
88% appreciated its fast drying time, but 12% had to wait too long
The product absorbs quickly within an hour.
I allowed the product to dry for 7 hours until completely dry.
After drying the product for two days, it rained and the water penetrated the entire concrete. This indicates that the drying time of the hardware-sealer is not sufficient and it is not effective in preventing water from penetrating the concrete.
96% found it easy to apply
I found it easy to apply the sealer by following the instructions provided. I recommend using the "w" rule pattern for painting and applying a thin coat followed by a second coat.
The application process is easy. Pour the solution into a garden sprayer without mixing. It sprays on evenly and flows out, minimizing pooling.
92% appreciated its moisture resistance
After applying the hardware-sealer, I tested its moisture resistance by turning on the lawn sprinklers. The water completely beaded up and ran off the concrete, indicating zero water penetration into the concrete.
I tested the product by applying it to the concrete and turning on the lawn sprinklers. The water beaded up and ran off the concrete, indicating zero water penetration.
The hardware-sealer I used resisted moisture and not a single drop of water intruded when a heavy atmospheric river hit our area.
92% praised for its strong adhesive, while 8% found it didn't hold well
I tested the product by turning on the lawn sprinklers after 24 hours and observed that the water completely beaded up and ran off the concrete.
Using Ghostshield 8510 will ruin the floor.
90% liked its flexibility
I used a 1-gallon sprayer with full strength GhostShield 8500.
91% appreciated its wide temperature range, but 9% found it failed in extreme temperatures
With colder weather, the product is becoming a nightmare.
