- 1). Sweep the patio clean of all debris and make sure the patio is completely dry before continuing.
- 2). Open your sealant and pour the contents into a bucket.
- 3). Start in a far corner and begin to apply the sealant with a brush. You want a light, even coat of sealant that covers not just the pavers but the spaces between them (which may be filled with grout or packed sand). Work your way over the patio so that when you are done, you do not have to walk over any part of the newly sealed pavers.
- 4). Place plastic wrap over the top of the bucket to prevent the sealant in the bucket from drying. Wait two hours and then begin the process again. You want a minimum of two coats of sealant applied. If you live in an area with high heat, heavy rainfall or snowy winters, consider applying up to four coats.
- 5). Pour the remaining sealant in the bucket back into its original container. Use a funnel to make this a quick and easy process. Recap the original container and store the left over sealant in a cool, dry place.
