Summary:

Application:

1st coat: Thick, gloopy clear resin

2nd coat: +1:28 hrs Easy spread, barely detectable odour

Comments:

Strong enahncement of colour with permanent damp look that has withstood all that a British winter could throw at it.

Even after 14 months, the enrichment remains strong and definite.

As a concrete "Finisha" (sic), this may not have been intended for use on natural stone but, in terms of enhancing the colour, it's performed significantly better than some of the alleged specifically-for-stone products.

Stain Trials:

Application of stains

Wash off stain with proprietary cleaner after 24 hrs

stain after cleaning
Stain 48 hrs after washing-off mosskiller and cleaning with proprietary cleaner

Comments:

This looks good! Yes, there are minor traces of the greases (Oil and Fat), but it's difficult to pick them out against such a strongly enhanced, damp-looking background. The ink, wine and mosskiller have had no impact at all.

Combined with the rich colour enhancement, this ability to withstand most staining attempts makes this product a serious, if unexpected contender for anyone looking to enrich and protect the looks of their stone paving.

Note: Any apparent variation in colour of the flagstone is due solely to changes in the condition of the natural daylight at the time the photograph was taken.

Other than cropping to exclude extraneous background and adding a drop shadow to the cropped image, there has been NO post-processing of the original photographs.
