Schelling: Worked great using a pump sprayer and a 4" roller to spread evenly. Does not clog up your sprayer and rinses out easily with water. During a hard rain after applying the product and it curing "Ghost Shield Siloxa-Tex 8500" water just beaded up on the concrete! Very happy with the finish look as the concrete looks like a satin finish and is not glossy or slippery.

Charles C.: This product was used on our basement and garage floors. It was easy to apply using a paint roller and dried quickly and evenly while stopping the concrete dust. The best part of using this product was no odor. I recommend this product for anyone wanting to block concrete dust without any terrible odor.

RobertRobert: I really like how this product works. I ran ran out before I could finish seal coating my retaining wall and you can definitely tell the difference. You can see the difference from the bricks on the left in the photo compared to the rest of the wall.

KenRedPenKenRedPen: Good price. Fast delivery.
Waiting for a few nice days in a row before applying the sealant.
Will add my findings after spraying on the sealant.
This an update now that the sealant has been applied.
The first photo is after spraying the sealant on new 28-day old concrete, about 50sq-ft area. No issues, minor color change.
The second photo was 24 hours after application. Color lightened up a little. Looks good!
The 3rd and 4th photos are 5 days after application. I sprayed with water as you can see water is beading up on about 75% of the concrete. A couple spots (25%) does not appear to be beading. Temperature thru-out the process was a high of 83 degrees and low of 61 degrees, did not rain during the entire process.
Instructions say it’s fully affective after 7 days. If I find any issues I’ll update this again. So far I like the product and have enough for an additional application.

willd: This Ghostshield concrete sealer was so easy to apply on my 12x12 concrete pad and pleased that I could do it at 52 degrees in the morning. Even at the low temperature it dried quickly enough to put on the second coat. Within 48 hours I was ready to install my hot tub on it with the sealant completely dry!
