The sealer can add the shine that the shellac adds. Check under Acid blush
and concrete stain on the internet and disregard what they say about only
pros can put it down. Remember that the more the shine the slippery the
service so perhaps some sort of sand can be added????
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Hey Kelley,
My husband and I tiled our house ourselves this past
spring and summer. We did almost the whole house,
except for the master bedroom, master closet-pretty
small, and one of the other bedrooms. Our whole house
is a little over 1500 square feet, so it was quite a
job, but we did it, and it looks great. I would say
it cost under $4000, but we picked out porcelain tile
and what we liked. It could have been done for about
$2000-$3000 had we gone cheaper on the tile. Also, I
went to a friend's house last month that had the
stained concrete like Phaewryn was talking about, and
it looked absolutely fantastic. They stained it a
brownish color, and the concrete had been etched
(scored) to look like large tiles, 2x2 or bigger, and
then covered with a really shiny shellac. It looked
GREAT, and I bet it was not expensive. The only thing
about concrete is that it's porous, so the shellac had
to also needs to be a sealer.
