is this a sealant or will the material being stained remain pourous.

This is a stain, not a sealer. The concrete will need to be sealed after the cute time. Depending on the location will depend on what kind of sealer you need.

We stained an outdoor concrete countertop, love it! I think it would still be pourous, we sealed it after the stain dried as well. Been a year, if i remember right, it is stain/color only.

Mine was natural so I stained it. We have it outside and it is holding up well......

It is stained, and I believe it is sealed. I won't swear to that though because I gave it as a gift so do not have it here for me to examine. It is very nice though. By far the nicest option I have seen.

If you are going to use it for a craft project, it seems to be overkill. Your can use Minwax natural color stain for the purpose of seal and protect. But if you want your project to be gloss, it will do just that.

It is a liquid that is poured into the little container, and applied with the sponge brush. It sounds as if the contents of your bottle have solidified for some reason. I would return product for another bottle.It is a very good product.

I did not stain it. It might make it last a little longer though. It get's crowded FAST.

I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

This is no stain. It might look a little darker, but no stain. It is more like a wax "Bees wax" sealer that conditions the wood. I use it on my end grain wood cutting board. It looks great. It says it's a food grade product. I use it warmed up a bit. Personally I like the oil product they sell also.I use them both.

This is just like any clear soapy liquid. If you get it on something, it won't stain if you clean it within a reasonable amount of time. If left for weeks or months, it may eventually turn brownish.

I use this sealant on my marble kitchen counters/backsplash. I looks shiny and wet going on, but then you buff it off and there is no wet residual look. The stone is not left shinier than before you started. I have not used stonetech bulletproof so cannot compare the two products. Miracle Sealants 511 was the product recommended by the installers and where we bought the marble.

As long as you let it dry you should be fine. I didn't have a problem with it staining

It's a clear color, it doesn't really 'add' color. It just fills in pours, from what I can tell while using it.

My bottle was all liquid, applied easily with the sponge applicator and dried quickly, That was two weeks ago, it still looks fantastic. It has not peeled or rubbed off, all the green, moldly finish is gone. You must have gotten an old bottle. The product did what it proclaimed and is the best product I could have bought. I would contact the company. It is all I said it was, so sorry it did not work for you,

There's no mess,but there may be alittle residue during treatment. Use a liner.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

I have painted over this product with good success. I have not attempted any stain. Since the product keeps moisture from penetrating, I would be reluctant to stain. Stain works by penetrating wood.

I've never had it stain. I usually test it in an inconspicuous location when spraying on new material.
