Re: sealing venetian gold

I'm sorry, I was not trying to say superior to bulletproof necessarily. Again, last I used bulletproof by a customers request, I thought it was a great sealer for medium density stuff. I simply never adopted much from the StoneTech line and now from what I hear, they have lost a lot of quality as are being shunned by some of their own "former" people.

All I was trying to say is that there are sealers that outwardly do NOT bead up for water, however provide great protection from contaminates that are inherently "thicker" than water. The water test is not really a very good test for the quality of a sealer. The flouro chemical type sealers are prone to react this way - as they do not produce such a strong surface tension as the silicone solvents do. This surface tension created is a false positive for the ability of a sealer - it is nothing more than oil does not mix with water. Water-based flouro checmical sealers cannot produce such a reaction, yet are generally more resistant and more durable in the long run. Of course there are those that disagree as these sealers have not been around long enough to do extensive testing.
