Concrete Sealer Streaks

[IndyDIYGuy]

Hey Boys and Girls - another patio question for you experts out there. It looks like my sealer left some streaks. It's been down for about a week now and they haven't faded out. Any suggestions to fix? Should I use Xylene to scrub them out?

Peace and love boys and girls!

That trick only works for solvent-based sealers. It will ruin a water-based sealer.

Any other options for a water-based sealer?

Strip and re-seal.

Wait 5 years. You'll hardly notice.

I am curious looking at this. What was the prep work and did you densify?

Also, what was the weather like? Was it applied in the hot sun?

Roller Marks/Streaks: Roller marks or streak marks occur when the sealer was applied too heavily, unevenly, or without maintaining a wet edge. Apply thin, even coats and if roller marks occur use Xylene to correct the problem.
