Masonry Saver (Defy) Heavy Duty Water Repellent 5 Gallon

I applied this to my driveway last summer. Excellent product. Should i power wash my driveway and re-apply the Masonry Saver (Defy) All Purpose Heavy Duty Water Repellent again this summer?

How long does the protection last?

I am contemplating to apply this penetrating sealer to concrete pavers for longer overall protection, and then apply a film forming acrylic or epoxy sealer on top in order to lock the joint sand and possibly enhance the color. Would that combination work with either solvent or water based film forming sealer? Will it stick well to the surface treated with penetrating sealer?

Not sure if my patio was previously sealed with. Does this stuff work on solvent based ?

Using in an indoor space concrete slab with brush finish just need water sealing and ability to mop... is this the stuff? Also does the pump sprayer mater or could it be a hand pump sprayer vs an airless mechanical? Also is this sold in stores?

This product cannot be applied to a painted stucco wall.

I have always sealed with a solvent based product. I live in WI and want a product that I could use on my driveway as well as my garage floors.
Thank you

There currently is a solvent based sealer in these areas?

I have a 4500 sq foot driveway of colored concrete pavers of varying sizes. Pavers have joint lock sand. Is this appropriate for this application? How long will one application last? 7 years? How many gallons will I need? Thanks

Are you just trying to seal the pavers or seal and enhance the appearance with a wet look and/or shine?

Hi,
First I want to thank you for getting my back order to me on time. I was power washing my drive when the FED X truck arrived with my 10 gallon order. The next day when the drive way was good and dry I applied the DEFY as instructed and waited a day for it to completely dry before testing it and boy was I amazed the water just beaded up and ran off and my drive way still looked dry. Thank you for a Great product.

You show 75-150 per sqft. For concrete But the directions how 150-300. Which is it? I have 1800 sq ft oc Concrete.

It varies based on the porosity. 150 per gallon is normal.

Hi John, we already replied to this question. See below.

John Hudak:

Is this premixed or do you have to mix it yourself? Can it be applied with a roller?

Thank you

Best to apply with a sprayer but it can be rolled. It is pre mixed.

I have just about 650 sq ft of brand new pavers I installed in Jacksonville Florida. Do I need to put two coats of Defy Masonry saver? If yes does that mean I need 10 gallons or is the 5 gallon enough

This product require one coat. About 5-7 gallons for this.

I've power washed my driveway and walks. I have 2200sq ft to seal. How much of the Heavy Duty Water Repellent do I need, and how do you apply it? Do you spray it with a garden tank sprayer then roll it, or just spray it?

Also can I use this on my garage floor?

15-20 gallons for this. Just one coat. Best to apply with a pump sprayer. No need to back roll. See this for additional info:

Brand new concrete driveway which is brush finished, poured yesterday 10-14-15. I want to seal before winter, but it can't end up slick or glossy and do not want to darken the color. What product do I need, and how long to wait before applying? Live in Michigan, so it will be really cold in another few weeks. How long after I order will it take to get the product here?

New concrete needs to cure for 28 days and the application temp needs to be above 40 degrees. If the temps separate in mid November then this is the correct product to use. If not then you will have to wait until next Spring. We are in Bloomfield Hills MI.

Hi. We have a concrete driveway that is about 50 years old. We pressure washed to remove stains but had to resort to clorox. I'm sure a lot was absorbed. It's been raining cats and dogs here for days and hope that will help dilute. Will that affect the HD water repellant if we apply after the driveway dries out?
Thanks.

It should not.

Is this product water-based or solvent-based? Also, I read somewhere that you need to wait at least 28 days before applying this to newly installed brick. Is this true? Thanks!

Water based. Yes on new concrete and 28 days.
