Being multiple colored all variation is lost with sun and dust on
them. As I washed the walls to prep for painting, I discovered that
when these rocks are wet, they look a lot better. So the question WHAT
is the best clear coating to put on them to keep them looking wet?
Keep in mind here in Arizona the sun is merciless and the heat can
easily get surface temperatures above 140F *and still does freeze
here.


My first thought was to use something like was used on the travertine
flooring, but that's interior. Need to be robust for exterior.


SealKrete is popular.

I was thinking of similar sealers. *I used KureNSeal 30 on my
stamped concrete. *It gives it a wet look and lasts 2- 3 years.
It's solvent based, you can't buy it in all states.
I have not been impressed with any of the water based
sealers.

Thanks for the recommendation, and the URL. It looks like they ship to
Arizona.

Is this URL the lowest price, including shipping?
