Hi - just joined the forum.

Anybody had any experience with the Thompson's paving sealant (one coat solution). I've tried some on 1 flag and it looks real goo but want to know how long it will last?

Although, it's only a sealant it does restore the colour. problem with laying "black" indian paving is that they are grey by the time your finished!

I've read some not great things on this site about Thomson / Thompson products - have a use of the search facility and see what you get back ...

They're not terrible -- but they're not great.

They do seal things -- for a while. They are particularly vulnerable to UV degradation, and are particularly vulnerable to foot traffic.

They're just okay.
