Hi all,
Im in need of some advice, ive layed an indian sandstone driveway and seemingly ruined it with this sealant.. im not sure weather it was because there was moisture hiding under the dry looking surface or whether i hadnt cleaned it off properly prior to sealing but either way it looks horrid.. could i put a block paver seal over this stuff? or do i need to remove the resiblock sealant? and if so... How?? thanks in advance
Short answer to putting another sealer over the top NO….
Bit more info needed, how long had the paving been down before you sealed?
Was it damp or did it rain soon after you sealed ?
How long a go did you do this?
And why did you seal the paving? your idea or the customers?

Not my idea, the customer enforced having a sealant
Far to cold to seal in January. Hence the problem you have, it was to cold and most probably damp so the sealer has failed by not curing properly. It can be removed, do you want to do this yourself? or have someone come in and do it. Which Resiblock sealer did you use?
Awh thank god for that! Thank you I'll do it myself I just haven't a clue what to use that won't harm the slabs.. It was resiblock sandstone invisible sealer

Doing this type of thing is not for the faint hearted so take your and read all instructions properly and follow to the letter, don't try to short-cut anything.
This is going to be very messy and you'll need to watch where the run-off goes as ideally nothing should go down the drains.
With AS10 you can use a pressure washer to wash off.
With the Miracle you are best off using a slow speed rotary floor machine with a soft to medium brush. Serious amounts of rinsing need to make sure you have removed everything. If you do need to seal this again, leave it until the weather gets a lot warmer though.

They only do 5lt or 25lt so I'd go for the 25lt, so if you needed to have a second go at this as some bits of sealer can be stubborn to remove you should have enough.
Roger i phoned the company selling paramose as its only sold for industrial use, and they are not having none of it saying i need to buy enviromose for this task instead?

This is their water based version, I don't know how good it is to be honest as I've never used the water based one, did you ask them if they could send you a sample?
