Cryli-Tek 5505-1 Gallon Solvent Based Acrylic High Gloss Wet Look Water Repellent, Concrete Sealer and Paver Sealer

Great product. Easy to work with and looks fantastic.

I recently began a project involving an abundance of river rocks I had been collecting. I had been on the hunt for a product that would not only bring out and enhance their natural colors, but could also protect and help keep their vibrancy for at least a few years to come. I ended up trying out a few other popular products prior to finding this one, and they just didn’t cut it the way I had been picturing it to be. Either too weak, fading way too fast and many more applications needed, or looked to having a very short protective life span (especially when exposed to, well, any of the outdoor elements really). There are tons of products out there and many are quite deceiving if not down right frustrating to work with. I came across Ghostshield Cryli-Tek 5505, liked what I’d read by the manufacturer and became even more inspired in trying it after seeing the amount of positive and encouraging reviews. Now, I do realize that my use of this product may not be exactly in the way for which this product was intended for, or that others should be influenced by my use of this product for that particular purpose in which it was used. But generally speaking, with all the intended materials still being the same, and with the same concept and rules being applied, the end results were absolutely incredible! I can honestly say that this stuff can’t even be compared to the other rock/stone sealers or enhancers I tried. If you read all the instructions thoroughly, and with in the right conditions…, It applies on smoothly, it’s quick to dry and literally forms a protective shell around itself, and remains crystal clear while keeping the colors under at their fullest potential (even sitting in direct sunlight day after day). The best part is that all it takes is one application, so it actually saves you more mot having to do multiple coats, getting more out of it. This product is on a whole other level. Even for the simple and smaller projects, it just looks better, it saved me so much more time, and it completely exceeded my expectations.

Here in the southwest strong sunlight can fade even the best concrete work. I used Cryl-Tek 5505 Concrete Sealer on my front porch which had faded over the years due to the sunshine. Cryl-Tek went on easily with both a paint brush for the edges and a roller for the more expansive areas.I've included a few photos to show the difference Cryl-Tek made. The concrete is now noticeably richer in color. I've tried other sealers and Cryl-Tek stands up to them. Also, no issue with compatibility with the prior sealers. It'll take a year or so to test the durability though last night we had a spring snow storm and as the snow melted the water beaded up like a champ!My only suggestion is that the can could use a handle. As it came, the can had no handle which made handling it a bit difficult.Otherwise this is a good sealant that seems to do its job!

I used this product to retreat the concrete coping around my salt water pool. Product is easy to apply and does a great job sealing the stamped concrete. I needed a sealer to apply over stamped concrete previously sealed with an acrylic sealer and this product did the job. Highly recommend!

Follow the recommend application process and no issues. Made the stone patio look like new. Order on can more than you think you will need.

Work in progress but so far I love the look. Application was very easy, but the smell is overwhelming. Strongly recommend a respirator mask. That seemed to help a lot. Only started today and had to order another gallon as it didn’t go as far as I was hoping. But if it lasts through the winter and next year I will be thrilled. I’ll add pictures when completed.

We converted our plain concrete patio using acid stain + Ghost Shield..Cleaned the patio, cut design, pressure washed, neutralized, washed and then rolled on the sealer!Very happy with this sealer!

This stuff is an amazing sealer, it is best to roll with a larger roller, it brings out the original color of your concrete and the protection is fantastic
