Product does a good job of repelling water, oil or grease can still stain the concrete wish I had use the 8510. Overall am satisfied with the performance to date as it has been applied for only 4 weeks.

This is my first time using this product. It brushes on nice and soaks into the mortar. 2 coats dried fairly quickly. Used this after tuck pointing the chimney and seems to work fine. Easy clean-up.

This stuff is great. Very easy and fast to apply. 2 coats were necessary. The biggest unknown is it’s durability. Time will tell.

Used the Silatek and then used this product to prevent spalling on my driveway in the wintertime. Easy application process, but took a lot longer than I expected since there is a few days wait time between using each product. Applied them both a few months ago and the combination seems to be working well.

I applied this to the stone veneer frontage on my home. I applied this with a large paint brush and put on 2 coats. It was easy to apply, it looks like a white milky substance but dries on clear. Seems to be working and I hope it lasts, it’s has only been around 3 months since I applied it though.
