Q: I recently purchased a travertine-topped coffee table (expensive). The top is beautiful but has not been sealed. I am having a crowd for Thanksgiving and am worried that it might get stained. I purchased Granite Gold Sealer® and was preparing to seal my table top. Please tell me if the appearance of the finish will change and become shiny if I seal it with your product. I don't want it to be shiny (like a granite kitchen countertop).
A: Granite Gold Sealer will not change the appearance of the stone. Follow the instructions below:
- Clean the surface with Granite Gold Daily Cleaner®
- Spray sealer on the surface in a 3-foot section
- Immediately wipe into stone with a lint-free cloth. Do not allow sealer to dry on the surface – it will cause hazing
- Buff dry with a lint-free cloth
- For maximum protection, repeat the process 2-3 times.
