Honestly, everyone says to seal your flagstone patio right away, but waiting a full year for the mortar to fully cure made a huge difference in how the sealer held up. | Albuquerque Home Improvement - Opinions Matter
Honestly, everyone says to seal your flagstone patio right away, but waiting a full year for the mortar to fully cure made a huge difference in how the sealer held up.
I sealed my new patio in the North Valley after 12 months instead of the usual 6 weeks, and the sealer hasn't peeled or yellowed at all after two Albuquerque summers, so what's the rush everyone talks about?
You're right about that North Valley sun baking things solid, cole_lee. I've seen cracked earth out there you could literally lose a shoe in. It gets so hard and dry that nothing short of a pickaxe would make a dent.
