Before you begin
Exterior sealer FAQs
Which sealer should I use over exterior WRC, RAC or TSC stain?
Use the Concrete Resurrection Outside Acrylic system over compatible exterior stained concrete. Always confirm compatibility and follow the current product and stain instructions.
How can I create a matte exterior finish?
Use Matte Additive in the second coat of Outside Acrylic. Mix and apply it according to the additive and sealer instructions so the final appearance remains as even as possible.
Should I use Non-Skid?
Use Non-Skid where slip resistance is a concern, especially on pool decks, steps, walkways or other surfaces that may become wet. A sealed surface can be slippery when it lacks sufficient texture.
Can Weather Dance be used over stained concrete?
No. Weather Dance is not the recommended protection for stained concrete. Use the Outside Acrylic system over compatible exterior WRC, RAC or TSC stain.
When should I use Nature’s Essence?
Nature’s Essence is intended for RAC reactive acid stain enhancement only. Do not treat it as the standard sealer for WRC, TSC or other stained-concrete systems.
How often should exterior concrete be resealed?
There is no single schedule for every surface. Sun, weather, freeze-thaw exposure, traffic, maintenance and film thickness affect service life. Inspect the surface regularly and refresh it according to the current product instructions before the protective film is completely worn away.
