Failed Sealer - Indian/Sandstone

Dealing with failed sealer on sandstone surfaces can often be resolved with the right approach, depending on the type of sealer originally used. For certain sealers, a straightforward fix using xylene can re-emulsify the sealer, allowing trapped moisture to escape and the sealer to re-bond with the sandstone. This is a quick and effective solution for many types of sealers, restoring the surface without requiring full removal. However, it’s important to ensure that xylene is compatible with the specific sealer in use, so always read the product description carefully to confirm suitability.

In cases where the sealer has completely failed or xylene is not effective, full removal may be necessary. This involves using a sealer stripping product to fully remove the old, damaged sealer, allowing for a fresh application. It’s crucial to follow the application instructions closely to avoid product waste and ensure optimal results. PureSeal’s range of repair and removal products offer professional solutions for both minor repairs and complete sealer removal on sandstone surfaces, ensuring long-lasting protection and appearance after treatment.
