Sealer Problem - bristles in sealer

[motorjoc]

I just installed travertine tile and sealed the tile with two coats of Behr I/E low lustre sealer (water based). The sealer looks great, but the little 1/16" bristles from the Shur-line flat paint applicator are all over the floor and sealed in. I cannot find a solution to strip the sealer on the Behr website. Any suggestions are appreciated.

You could use a high alakaline cleaner/stripper,it should say stripper in the title.Aquamix,Sparks,Stonetech they all have them.

I didn't know Behr made stone sealers.

Any time you add a topical to travertine your in for a nightmare. It's going to cost a lot for a stone restoration expert to and remedy the problem. You may be able to remove the coatings yourself with a high alkaline coating stripper.

If you want a sheen on the stone, it should be mechanically polished instead of coated. Sacrificial coatings are just that. They don't live very well on the stone.

A sealer should go into the stone and not sit on top of it.

I see this a lot. Travertine is usually the victim.
