Why Is My Coating Peeling Off | Tecate Paver Sealer Failure & Repair
We refinished these tecate pavers and removed all the old sealer that had completely turned white & cloudy (which is common when shiny sealers are used outdoors).
I always caution people to not use this type of finish outside as it is much more effective indoors.
Water & the elements outside are the enemy when it comes to any clay bodied terracotta tiles.
After removing all the existing sealer we deep cleaned the raw tile and lert them dry out completely,then we sealed the raw tecate pavers with a much more durable water proofing sealer that is actually made for outdoor tile.
This sealer does not leave a shine but instead keeps the tile natural looking but protected.

    Saltillo is not the same as terracotta. What solvent based sealer would you recommend if you are advising us not to use water based sealer. Pressure based extractors work much faster than old school scrubbing and rag pick up methods. This is a Saltillo tile and the reddish color is the slip clay that should remain on the clay body or you will reveal sand and air pockets as the surface is (sanded from overt abrasion)

    My stone tile was installed 12 years ago and foyer was sealed, but hearth was not. Can I do it now? How would I clean it first? It always looks dirty, even after washing on hands and knees with lots of water. I read all of the comments and think I would prefer the product that enhances the color and seals. Thanks!

    I had to use a steel brush on this terracotta recently, it worked. Only reason being, the tile is about 80 years old and it’s been sealed over for about 15 years, without a strip and wax job.

    After binging countless Fritz vids regarding my 40 year old inherited Saltillo, I’d NEVER sand these suckers! Fritz, you are a wonderful & informative resource that I treasure. Truly! I’ve taken on my own work here because well… you are very, VERY far from me or I’d have hired you, hands down. Now… wish me luck, stamina & success LOL I’ve already been stripping like a lioness & committed to nailing this with your library of guidance. Takes a bit longer than your Secret Sauce (ok, much longer to melt it), but Zep Heavy Duty is all us plebs can get & eventually gets through the crazy concoction of mixed products & levels off this floor. 😂 The Scotch Bright scrubbies you use have also been crucial to a thorough strip down to the raw stage. Praise Dee Lawd, Fritz. Mahalo!!!! 🌈
