In my opinion, when applying a sealer, the brush should be soaked and it is not a case of spreading the sealer in a thin film as he is doing , sort of brushing it in as one would do with a thin coat of paint. Sealing is a different philosophy and saturation through penetration needs the brush to deposit as much sealant as possible as there would be a lot of soaking in a dried brick.
Well I did apply 2 coats of sealer & was also concentrating on when I put in on over the grout lines & nooks & crannies so I think I got it on there thoroughly....
I would apply at least 2 coats & maybe even 3 if you think necessary? I would wait until each coat is fully dry to the touch (& then some) before applying next coat. If you have a question if the first coat is dry enough then wait until next day to apply 2nd coat etc.. The directions should also be on can for drying time depending if you apply in winter &/or in summer. Let me know how it looks when You are done!
I'm a 40 year brickmason. My brick at the bottom are deteriorating too. I get snow piled up against the brick. It is the freeze and thaw cycle. We get plenty of sun in the day and then it's freezing at night. It is happening on the South side where the sun is prevalent. I hosed off all of the loose debris, brushed and scraped it first and sealed with two different brands of sealer in different parts of the wall, to see what works best after the winter. If you live in a similar climate, probably you will have this problem too. Sealing the area will prevent the melting snow in the bright sun daytime from soaking into the brick, and then freezing at night (this causes expansion) and it causes the brick to crack and peel.
+Boo Hargis Hey thanks for going out of your way to send me this follow up message. We are not in the snow plane but we do get under freezing a couple of times each winter. Something to think about for sure. Good luck with your project!
+VideoJoeKnows Joe this is a daily event through the winters when it snows here and there. Two light freezes won't hurt I don think. We never had this problem in New Orleans. Joe, incidentally, I'm not a bad musician either. Oh, and I used to hustle 9 ball around New Orleans.

So glad to see your message here! Thanks for the kind words. I have way more DIY videos that could save you more money around the house. Just go to my main UA-cam channel page then click on playlists then scroll down to see all kinds of things that YOU can do!
I ended up applying 2 coats of sealer to these bricks & I would think these bricks will look really good for another few years like 3 maybe. Take a look after a couple of years then apply another coat if need be....as it won't take very long to apply another coat...depending on how much brickwork you have...
Hey I got some orange oil this morning, and it's amazing! You were so right - it does just about everything and it smells GORGEOUS. Thanks for the heads-up :)
If that "sealer" isn't silane/siloxane based then you've fucked it up. You're just trapping moisture IN the brick. It can't go out to the atmosphere because it sealed and not breathable. So where do you think it'll go? That's right. INWARDS!
Yes if you use gloss sealer since the first coat soaks right up into the brick & grout so the 2nd coat will start building the sealer up & in fact if you have a wall not too long than I would even suggest a 3rd coat. Use the gloss sealer as they also make a natural sealer which still looks dry after you apply.
I have brick around the base if my house all the way around and it has been having pieces of it falling off. Will sealing it help prevent that from happening? Thanks Joe
Chances are, sealing the brick will "not" prevent pieces of your existing bricks from falling off. I would think you have an issue with those bricks & it needs to be resolved before applying sealer. Joe :0
Joe, I loved your "You Can Do This!" comment! lol Very enthusiastic! : ) I have a two story brick Italianate Victorian built in 1870. Boy, can I sure use this! After you applied your second coat, did it dry with an even "wet look" all around the applied area? Thanks, Joe!
+Joseph Cardoni Yes it looked pretty good when I got done. if you want the wet look you will need to make sure to get the right type of sealer at the store & make sure you put on at least two coats & depending how dry your bricks are you might even need to apply a 3rd coat. Ask your questions at the hardware store or you can go to a paint store & get your materials there. Good luck with your project!
+Joseph Cardoni I actually used a "natural" finish so it wasn't too wet looking...more natural in overall finish. so if you want a wet look make sure you get the right stuff at the store......
Depending on how old your brick is etc. will determine if it comes back. I would clean the best I could then apply at least 2 if not 3 coats of sealer then see what happens!
That's a very good question. I would suggest you first clean your bricks then if you paint then you could use some type of primer for your sealer....not a clear sealer like what I used. Go to your nearest hardware &/or paint store & see what they suggest you use. Good luck with your project! Joe :0
Not sure what you could use to seal your brick work over whitewash. You could take a pic of your fireplace with your cell phone then take that to your local hardware store & see what they might suggest. If you seal it then may have a shiny look to your project. If you like the flat look to what you have now I would leave alone & put more whitewash over your bricks when it gets dirty again &/or touch up. If you think your fireplace is going to get quite dirty a few times each winter then you might want to speak to your hardware salesperson & see what might be done. Thanks for your message. Joe :0
Dont paint bricks. Can cause so many more problems than it solves. Bricks help a building breath by painting you stop this causing damp. You can seal masonry but only with a breathable sealant. It also may look better for a while after painting but you will then spent the rest of your life maintaining the a fresh look. Better to consider cleaning, repointing then possibly sealing. Then you can forget about it for the next 15 to 20 years. Rather than trying to maintain the painted look every year. Life is too short.
Great video! My back yard is very small and I had it redone in bricks. I love it but find that the bricks have the same dusty, faded look as the bricks on your aunt's wall. I would really like them to have the shiny look you're achieving. Would you suggest sealer or something else seeing the bricks will be walked on? Thanks!
You first need to clean your bricks from the residue that you see on the bricks. Go to your local hardware store & see what they have & suggest, for cleaning the brick concrete residue. Talk to a salesperson & don't make any assumption on which product to use. You could also talk to them for what product to use to seal your brick. Please also keep in mind that if you seal it with something too shiny, your brick could get slippery to walk on when the bricks are wet. You might have to use a sealer that's not too shiny. Talk to them & see. Good luck with your project! Joe :0
I guess the reason I did not use a mini roller was because I wanted to get in the cracks & crevasses & grout lines & the mini roller doesn't really do that very well so I thought I would just use a small paint brush & be done with it. Thanks for your message!
You did a great job I've done few of these jobs as well , small job it's great for brush but pump garden sprayer they will put out 10-15 psi works great as well and hydro stop barrier sealer is great repelant and water base want hurt shrubs or anything else ... But great video thanks enjoyed it and hope you have a blessed Easter from Florida
So glad to read your message! Yes if this was a larger job I would have gone to the store to pick up a Hudson Sprayer for sure for sealing it as I would still have needed to apply at least 2 coats of sealer & had I had enough sealer I would have put on a 3rd coat of sealer too & on this little project I did in fact put on a 3rd coat of sealer as I recall since it dried so fast in the middle of summer & I had plenty more sealer so why not? Thanks for stopping by!
What should I apply to marble walls to make it look better? The customer wants me to clean it then apply wax. The walls are inside the building. Thank you.
Yes for sure but I wasn't too concerned about that as I did the cleaning & sealing in the middle of summer & this brick was over 35 years old so all in all it looked really good when I got done with it. Thanks for your message!
I would try to cut in the brick as best you can to keep it off all other surfaces but I would say if you get some on it won't be the end of the world. Plus when dry I guess you could clean it off with some paint thinner or something...
would you consider sealing an interior brick wall? If the main concern with sealing is to prevent water infiltration then it wouldn't be necessary for an interior wall unless you wanted to change the look of the bricks, do you agree?
+Guy Desmond I don't know if it will work on sundek. My suggestion would be to go to your local hardware store & ask a salesperson who might be familiar with sundek & maybe they will recommend something they think will work for that. If they don't know then maybe go to a paint store & ask there. Don't use this & regret it later. Thanks for your message...
+L.A DiNiro Yes! She was VERY happy with her most favorite nephew. Never mind the only other was is my brother (Ha) but I'll take it!....lol I ended up doing lots of projects over at Aunties so if you keep watching my videos you will see other things I did over there too. I had fun helping her out! Thanks for stopping by! Joe :0
Hey Joe, I have a few questions then. I am going to do AirStone Autumn Mountain Faux Vaneer on a wall. Have you ever done them? I was looking up sealer because this man said that Airstones look so much better with it on them. That is how I got to your video in the first place. Thanks- Laurie
Hey Laurie. Can't say that I have had any experience with what you want to do but it sound like you will have some fun with your project. Much luck! Let me know how it goes! & thanks for finding my channel! Joe :0
I don't know if I would put muriatic acid in a sprayer. Plastic spray bottle yes. Yes very strong smelling too. What did you end up doing? I'm sure they have other cleaners out there you could use I just decided to try muriatic acid as I've used that to take the concrete film off of new poured sidewalks so I figured it would work here too.
Now I was referring to muriatic acid for the cleaner I used. As for the actual sealer yes you could put that in a Hudson sprayer lets say then make sure you cleaner the sprayer out with whatever cleaner they say to use to wash up after applying sealer & sometimes that might be as simple as soapy water but read the labels. Did you seal your brick? How did it go?
I didn't have a pump sprayer & was not going to buy one just to apply 2 coats of sealer to a little brick with a crummy throw away paint brush but yes if you have a pump sprayer...go for it.
I was using muriatic acid for the cleaning & worked out great for the actual cleaning of the bricks. Then I applied 2 coats of a floor sealer on the bricks. Not sure the name of the sealer I used but you can get most general floor sealers at most any hardware store. did you ever put sealer on your bricks? I would give them a good clean first though...
Yes you could spray it if you have a sprayer & are set up to do that. In my case I did not have a sprayer so I did it the cheap way even with a throw away paint brush & wanted to show other DIY beginners that they can do it the same way if need be. Thanks for stopping by!

+VideoJoeKnows Fair enough, but these days folk are short on time and when they need to know something it pays to do the job without too much chatter, this way people will appreciate you more. Technical advice is good but not idle chit chat. Glad you appreciated the comment.
NEVER EVER do what this bloke had done... He's 💯 per cent WRONG -. Let the bricks breathe - coating them in this suffocating rubbish sealent will cause rising damp because moisture and rain will get trapped behind the rubbish sealent causing absolute mayhem.....be warned friends....
Well I've never heard that before. I've seen bricks being painted &/or sealed all the time & I would think if you have sealed them properly then moisture should not build up inside the bricks causing issues. Thanks for your message....something to think about I guess. News flash....I cleaned & sealed these bricks over ten years ago & they are still there & still look just fine....just say'in.
Lol I'll be right back, and never returns. Thanks for demonstrating how to seal brick. I jumped ahead to see the final outcome because you talk essessively and I was bored of it and then you didnt show the final wall photos, ugh, a partial let down.
I have a few more videos of cleaning the bricks & sealing the bricks. Go to my main UA-cam channel page then click on playlists then scroll down to find the topic & you will find all of the videos there. Thanks for stopping by!

Thats why its up to 127 dislikes. Put loads more on. It has to sink in to the bricks. No sheet on the ground either!!
how many layers should one apply and should it be roughly 1-2 minutes apart?
Well I did apply 2 coats of sealer & was also concentrating on when I put in on over the grout lines & nooks & crannies so I think I got it on there thoroughly....
I would apply at least 2 coats & maybe even 3 if you think necessary? I would wait until each coat is fully dry to the touch (& then some) before applying next coat.

You're right. I learned about this phenomenon when I was doing researches regarding brick house.
+Maya Legrand Thanks
You have some thoughts that I would never have considered but I thought any kind of sealer would "prevent" water from getting into the bricks.
Nice research...
After the second coat will the bricks keep that wet darker look?
Yes if you use gloss sealer since the first coat soaks right up into the brick & grout so the 2nd coat will start building the sealer up & in fact if you have a wall not too long than I would even suggest a 3rd coat.

I have brick around the base if my house all the way around and it has been having pieces of it falling off. Will sealing it help prevent that from happening? Thanks Joe
Hmmm good question. Probably not though. Are your bricks still falling off?
Can I use 511 imprenator?
Never heard of it but if it's an exterior type of sealer & clear then I think you could try it.
Chances are, sealing the brick will "not" prevent pieces of your existing bricks from falling off. I would think you have an issue with those bricks & it needs to be resolved before applying sealer. Joe :0

The bricks in the basement just are like dust they run up to the chimney. Anything bumps it or rubs up against them - the bricks just crumbles
Doesn't sound very safe. You might want someone to look at those bricks. I should have contacted you years ago!

Good one!
I'm thinking on doing this on my old attic exposed brick chimney.Can I put it in a sprayer? Anyone know if it's toxic-strong smell?
Did you do it?

You never heard of a pump sprayer
@@neil1960 pump sprayer. You put liquid inside and pump it up to add pressure. Then it sprays. Home depot has em
I didn't have a pump sprayer & was not going to buy one just to apply 2 coats of sealer to a little brick with a crummy throw away paint brush but yes if you have a pump sprayer...go for it.

Thanks for your observations & letting me know your thoughts. Much appreciated! Joe :0
+VideoJoeKnows Fair enough, but these days folk are short on time and when they need to know something
it pays to do the job without too much chatter, this way people will appreciate you more.
Technical advice is good but not idle chit chat. Glad you appreciated the comment.
Yes I did! Thanks for caring enough to take the time to send me your suggestions! Joe :0
NEVER EVER do what this bloke had done... He's 💯 per cent WRONG -. Let the bricks breathe - coating them in this suffocating rubbish sealent will cause rising damp because moisture and rain will get trapped behind the rubbish sealent causing absolute mayhem.....be warned friends....
Well I've never heard that before. I've seen bricks being painted &/or sealed all the time & I would think if you have sealed them properly then moisture should not build up inside the bricks causing issues. Thanks for your message....something to think about I guess. News flash....I cleaned & sealed these bricks over ten years ago & they are still there & still look just fine....just say'in.
You made a comment: "It's really easy.". I disagree. It may be simple but it isn't easy (there's a difference).
Agreed! It took some time & I was able to do it myself & it looked great when I got done so....
Lol I'll be right back, and never returns. Thanks for demonstrating how to seal brick. I jumped ahead to see the final outcome because you talk essessively and I was bored of it and then you didnt show the final wall photos, ugh, a partial let down.
So sorry I let you down as I was not planning on doing that to you! did you ever clean & seal your brick? How does it look?
Thank you for sharing this video
I have a few more videos of cleaning the bricks & sealing the bricks. Go to my main UA-cam channel page then click on playlists then scroll down to find the topic & you will find all of the videos there. Thanks for stopping by!
@@VideoJoeKnows thanks for sharing again 😊
@@bsjr25 I'll make more!
