Did this product change the colors any? I want to use on concrete, but don't want that "wet" concrete color, I just want it to be slick and shinny.

Its just a densifier and in pore sealer so it dries matte finish but makes it harder and reduces any dusting. If you want just a topical sealer to make it shinny the get a water based sealer that doesn't leave a "wet look"

This product did not do much of anything that I could tell. I don't recommend.

Though the liquid has a pale yellow color to it, for all practical purposes it is considered colorless. My porcelain tiles looked the same before and after with only difference in skid factor. Make sure to follow the guide on using the neutralizer to remove the liquid coating after letting this it sit for a designated time. (prepare the neutralizer ahead of time). I tested it on a few sample tiles and timed it for 5, 10 and 15 minutes. Difference is clear and I chose 15. You might want to try it yourself. Good Luck

Sorry, I didn't see the request until much later: Tiles are muted blends and look/feel like stone. Greens, browns, slight burgundies and gold color swirls. It goes with the laminate flooring that appears to look like stone; it too has that muted blend of colors and swirls. I was surprised at how well they went together!

Depends on the concrete, and what you mean by "polish". Some concrete is very fine grained, other is rough grain - fine grain can be polished. Alternately, you can smooth the concrete and put a sealer on it which will give it a smooth, polished look.

The finish is grey. However, the entire time I was applying each coat it appeared a shade of brown. It was not until it was completely dry & sealed that it really looked grey. You can add pigment if you want a certain color. But you have to also put in some other additive. You would have to research it. I love my results. It is beautiful. I will say I did very little sanding. I fell in love with the texture. Personally, I would not put it over the ceramic tile. Just bust off the tile then start your project. If there is a particle board or other hard surface under the tile use that as your base. The base does not have to be perfect. The finish is grey.

I see no reason why you couldn't.. I would create a test "patch" and try it out. Might absorb differently than the existing concrete, so be aware of that. That would make the color a bit off. May need an extra coat, etc..

I found that it slightly lightens the color. However, it is a very small price to pay for how well it work. This product is a god send. We even considered ripping up the existing tile because of how slippery it was.

The marks that are left I feel is directly related to your water and what's in it. I only grow on plastic, so I have not seen the impact on concrete. After my grows, there is always stuff left over under. It is usually salts and calcium. It also leaks no soil at all. Its a very tight weave.

No, I bought polished chrome and it is shinny. The other one is gray without shine.

No. It is a satin sheen. It is not slippery like pledge would be just like any wet floor.

The concrete needs to be completely dry so it will absorb the paint otherwise it will peal off. I would only apply it when the humidity is low. The paint is internally catalyzed so it will set it up even in cool weather. The instructions should give you a temperature application range.

The RadonSeal does not alter the finish of the concrete. After complete drying, the floor looks the same as it did before the application if you follow the directions. If you have areas of gloss before the sealing, you will still have them afterward.

Hi Nik, I contacted the company as I was wondering the same thing actually. The change in color comes from the switch to the new form of Glucosamine Sulfate. The old version had "Glucosamine Sulfate - Potassium Salt" and now the new version has "Glucosamine Sulfate (2KCL)". The 2KCL version is a more absorbable form of glucosamine sulfate. Hope that helps!

Not sure what you are experiencing. I had no such problem but used it indoors last fall. If it is cool, it is likely to take longer to cure. Humidity in the air is also a factor and certainly if the concrete has water content from washing, the cure could be prolonged. Likewise, wrong ratio of resin and the hardener could do the same. And stirring it thoroughly is necessary. My advise would be to let it sit until it is NOT tacky. If that never happens, I would add very thin coat of sand and brush it lightly. eventually, it will harden up.

I also had the change in color. I don't know the reason. Perhaps older stock? I used both and had the same results. I prefer the lighter color, as it seems fresher. I hope it helps you. Happy new Year.

Ditto to what Ken Baxter. It does discolor. But it's not a big issue for me.

No, it doesn't change colors per se but enhances the shine more than anything. However, there is also a clear glaze that's pretty fantastic too.
