For the Wet-Look Sealer, I can suggest that they let the surface dry for three full days. If after three days the white or milky color does not begin to fade, than apply denatured alcohol to the areas. Denatured alcohol may be applied by forming small circles until the milky appearance disappears. Keep a damp cloth handy to wipe off the surface. This will remove the top layer and allow the moisture trapped inside to escape. Hopefully this will allow the sealer to dry and lose the white or milky streaks.

Should this not help or the areas are too widespread, then the only solution would be to strip the entire area and re-apply the sealer. You can use Behr No. 992 Concrete and Masonry Stripper to remove this coating. However if there is a colored coating on, mixed in, or around the concrete the stripper will also remove that. To avoid that we would recommend using a Soy or Citrus based Stripper. Just make sure when you are applying the stripping agent that they follow label instructions carefully, paying close attention to spread rate and the time frame needed for the stripping agent to take effect. If you are going to re-apply a sealer, I would recommend that you use a high quality sprayer and back roll the sealer to avoid it pooling. If you choose to roll it on, make sure to apply in thin coats and work per label instructions. This will help to avoid future problems.

The sealer will not bring out the red color of the brick, it will only increase the gloss of the surface. Ifyou still want to use the sealer, the Thompson's must be stripped with a Concrete and Masonry stripper or the sealer will not adhere to the surface and eventually peel.

Behr No. 985001 Wet-Look Sealer is a product that can be applied to a bare concrete to give the surface a gloss sheen. However, because there is a previous coating on the surface that is not water based, it must be stripped off of the surface before the Wet-Look Sealer can be applied. If it is applied over the non-water based product, then it will not adhere and will peel from the surface shortly after it has begun to dry. Behr Concrete and Masonry Stripper will remove this coating, and should be applied at a rate of 150 sq. ft. per gallon.

Behr's Wet-Look Sealer is not a food safe coating. Behr currently does not manufacture a food safe coatings.

Sealed surfaces may become slippery when wet with most film forming floor coatings. We recommend to use caution when walking on the surface when moisture is present on areas sealed with the Wet-Look Sealer.

Behr's Non Skid Floor Finish Additive is recommended with solid coatings for best results. Solid coatings such as Behr's 1-Part Epoxy or Solid Concrete stain would be ideal for your project. If the Non Skid Additive is mixed in with the Wet-Look Sealer you may get a hazy finish.

Behr's Wet-look Sealer can not be used on hardwood or laminate floors. This product is only recommended for properly prepared concrete surfaces.

Tanning bleed through can be prevented by applying an oil based primer before the application of the Venetian Plaster.

Behr's Venetian Plaster can be applied on round pillars. It may be necessary to use smaller trowels to avoid leaving marks when smoothing down the finish.

You can paint over the Venetian Plaster with regular wall paint. To do so, you'll need to lightly scuff sand the surface with medium grit sandpaper. Sand just enough to get a dull and roughed up surface. Heavy sanding is not required. Wipe off any sanding dust with a slightly damp cloth and allow the surface to dry. Prime, and then follow up with paint in the sheen and color of your choice.
