Type of sealer for stone veneer on outdoor kitchen

nth78

I'm installing stone veneer this weekend.  Manufacturer recommends sealing it for external use.  Any recommendations?  Preferably something I can pick up at lowes/home depot/Walmart/sherwin williams

the box stores carry 511 sealer/ enhancer, been using it in a granite shower for a couple years

I agree 511, blue bottle.

100% agreed.  Did lots of online research, and the feedback was very consistent.  I'm happy so far.  No stain from spilled red wine!

Great!  I will pick some up!  How much area does a container cover?

probably depends how porous the rock and first coat will use more. your going to reapply it in a year so having extra is not a problem

Need to see pics...Love staring at outdoor kitchens as I sit here thinking of one day building my own

I will take some pics this weekend.  I see in the above pic it is the 511 pourus plus sealer.  My local lowes and home depot only have the 511 impregnating sealer.  Will that work and what is the difference?

Porous is for more absorbent surfaces, and costs a heck of a lot more.
