What is the best sealer to use? oil or water based? polyurethane? I have no idea and I don't have time to seal it every year! So I want to do it right the first time.

I used oil they recommended for teak wood furniture- actually bought it from amazon at the same time I ordered the chairs- did it exactly as they directed- and the chairs look awful after only 2 months! So you'd be better off asking someone at Home Depot or Lowes- or returning the chairs- that's a better idea!

I used the plastic seal that was suggested on Amazon, but I am sure a wax seal would work too

I haven't used it on the interior door seals during the winter...I will tell you a little trick that does work pretty good though - plain old petroleum jelly. Unless it gets super cold, petro jelly works pretty good to keep interior seals from sticking in winter. I use the Gummi Pflege on my exterior window seals and it works great if you work it in. Other protective sprays didn't provide me with an even coat on my car. A lot of the newer cars have went to more of a rubber/silicone compound that is supposed to last longer and not dry out as much - I prefer good ole' fashioned rubber seals. The new stuff seems to be affected more by pollutants in wash water and rain water.

You shouldn't need a sealer, but I would buy 1 gallon and test it out before you coat the whole boulder to see how reliable it is.

As you, have burned up several sealers- but have found this one to be the best so far. Can run continuously, with occasional cooling down of the sealing strip. So far happy with this one. Hope you are as satisfied with yours as I am with mine.

You have to seal it with a spray. We bought it at Academy. It is like a spray to prevent water leaks. Then it was great!

Lifetime can only be used on "virgin" wood. Once you have applied sealers or coatings it will not work. This is my understanding. Whats nice about lifetime is you can put other coatings over it if you don't like the results. But not the other way around. Too bad because Lifetime is awesome! I've used it on a project 12yrs ago and it preserves the wood with amazing results. I live in Hawaii where the environment is brutal and lifetime is the only product that hold up the longest

A foodsaver vacuum sealer works, you can also use an impulse sealer. I have heard of people using an iron as well but I haven't tried that.

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

use 3m 5200 sealant. if you need it to set up faster then i would recommend 3m 4200. any marine store carries these.

A small piece of electric tape placed on the nozzle (tip) between uses should seal it. Some distributors carry a "blank" (no-hole nozzle) for customization--that would work, too.

I would recommend using Vaseline on the rubber o-ring. This will help with the seal.

I would wait 24. It is pretty wet for a sealer. Don't mess it up & take longer to fix the mess.

Leave enough room when you first seal it. Then reseal it the way you did in the beginning. Iron or food sealer

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

After first year I was very happy with how the product stood up. After second year and a rough winter, cracks started to appear again. I re sealed driveway with a premium filler sealer. Wil see what happens after this winter. I think it is a good product. Just have to be very careful in its use. Follow all of the directions. Work fast. Best with 2 people working together. Hope this helps you.
