Questions & Answers
Could you please confirm if the product is designed to be applied with a garden pump sprayer and what kind of tip is required?
Yes, this product can be applied using a low-pressure garden style pump sprayer. A cone or fan tip is sufficient. You can also apply using a brush or roller.
Will the sealer leave overlap marks if I roll on a second coat?
No. However, the second coat must be applied before the 2nd coat dries. Keep in mind, this is a penetrating sealer and although it can be applied with a roller, a garden style low pressure pump sprayer tends to the preferred method of application.
Not being a clear finish, you will not leave landmarks. And one thing I I left the letter
This product if applied per the directions, will not leave landmarks.
I need to polish a very small area of conrcrete, approx 14 sq. ft. Can I apply this product as a densifier, then complete the polishing, and then apply the same product as the sealer.
Thanks for showing an interest in Ghostshield products. To densify concrete when polishing, we recommend Lithi-Tek 4500. For a final sealer, we recommend Siloxa-Tek 8500 or 8505 when finishes are less than 800. For higher gloss finishes (800+) we recommend Siloxa-Tek 8510 or Iso-Tek 8540VOC (currently not offered on Lowes)
Can this be used indoors in a bedroom before laying new carpet?
Can this product be used over a painted concrete surface (as a mural protectant)? We want a protectant applied after we paint this fountain.
Thank you for considering Ghostshield! Lithi-tek 9500 requires direct contact with concrete, the layer of paint will prevent this from happening. As far as sealing paint, Cryli-tek 5500 or Cryli-tek 5505 may be the perfect product.
Can you use this on porcelain tile
I have water penetration in my basement floor through some cracks. Will Litho-Tek 9500 help to seal that floor and stop the penetration?
Thanks for showing an interest in Ghostshield products. Lithi-Tek 9500 is a sealer designed for application to the top of the concrete surface. It prevents water from absorbing into the concrete. What you are describing appears to be water that has already penetrated into the concrete from the positive side (outside or "wet" side). Water that enters concrete from the outside, it is under pressure and migrates towards the negative side (inside) trying to find the area of lower pressure. Lithi-Tek 9500 is not meant for this type of water intrusion.
I’ve recently applied Lithi-Tek 4500 to new garage concrete floor and have purchased Lithi-Tek 8505 for sealing after 7 days. I didn’t realize there was this hybrid 9500 version, which seems cheaper in terms of sq. ft. Is 9500 the same as 4500+8505?
