This professional grade sealer is durable, odorless, UV stable, non yellowing & easy to work with.

            Answer This Question

            A:  I actually did and it seems to have worked fine.

            by|Jul 4, 2022

              A:  Thanks for showing an interest in Ghostshield. There are multiple types of stain solutions available on the market. We would need to know more details about the stain to accurately recommend. Most water-based stains can be top-coated with Cryli-Tek 5500. However, we encourage testing in an inconspicuous area to confirm suitability.

                The best sealer I have ever used!
                I love this sealer. It goes on easy with very low odor. The sheen is beautiful!

                  Liked the finish
                  The finish was exactly what I wanted. Not a high gloss sealer just a nice satin/matte finish. I would advise though that this is not recommended for colored concrete (I used it anyways) but if you want to enhance the color and you do have stamped concrete then you do need to use their Cryli-Tek 5505. I hate the wet look and was willing to sacrifice color enhancement for a subtle finish, so far it has held up well

                    So far, I love it. Easy to apply and it enhanced the color of my painted,, screened in porch floor. We'll see in the months to come if it holds up.
                    I was a bit confused about the application. The instructions you sent via email said temps must be above 45 degrees. Yet, on the container itself, it says they must be above 60 degrees. I did like that it goes on kind of milky, easy to see what has been covered.

                      Great!
                      Easy to apply and a perfect solution if you don’t want to spend hours (days) prepping the surface. Looks great even with some existing red clay stains.

                          Statue Sealing
                          I used the CRYLI-TEK 5500 to seal some concrete statues around my flagpole. The application was easy and remembering the information provided by the representative, the liquid goes on white but turns clear when dry. The information on the container says it is low sheen, however, it does have a low gloss when dry. It also changed the color slightly. Overall I think this is a good produce for sealing my statues. Time will tell how it holds up to sun and weather.

                            Cryli-tek 5500
                            Overall the Cryli-tek 5500 was easy to apply.It did dry extremely fast in my opinion and it did not enhance the natural color of my concrete which has a darker tone.I may have to choose a different sealer in the line to achieve the wet look I am looking for
