    So after about 16 years its time to seal the rock and concrete as I was informed yesterday.:salute: Too hot outside to do anything today.:dennis:
    She wants it to look shiny so vacuumed the dust now gonna use a cleaner and large hard brush then wait till completely dry. Any suggestions on a good product? Am looking at the Behr brand.
    Thanks eh..:cheers:

    Nice looking stove and hearth. I don't remember which sealer we used, but the Behr brand should be good. They use our products in their paint lineup. Heard great things about your the paint.

    I've used the Behr brand and it worked well. I don't recall that it was shiny though. Maybe if more coats were applied?

    Thanks guys and will grab a jug of it tomorrow Jeff.

    If I was to do it again I'd be using a lot smaller rock as the big ones were only letting me do a row a day with the weight of them on the walls which was squishing down on the cement.

    Gonna spray/scrub again tomorrow and will see what it looks like Monday after sealed.:coldone:
