If I do decorative painting on walkway concrete with artist grade acrylic aerosol paint, will this product change the appearance or colors? Also does it provide any UV protection? If not, do you have a product that can be applied with this penetrating barrier to offer UV protection?
This product does change the texture or appearance of the concrete however any product on top of the concrete will prevent it from penetrating. Typically, for your application, I would suggest a surface sealer over penetrating sealer. Surface sealers would give you the UV protection you are looking for.
Depending on finish we have a few options for you. -
Can I use this product on concrete that has been sealed
No. It needs to be unsealed so it can penetrate in to the concrete.
-
How long after concrete is poured can you apply this sealer?
You should wait a full 28 days before applying this sealer.
-

There is no specific waranty offered on this product as applications may vary due to temperature, and other conditions out of the control of the manufacturer.

This is a penetrating sealer, so you cant really strip it anyway. Depending on the type of epoxy, you have different prep requirements so need to look in to that and make sure you can apply it to a sealed surface.

Can you achieve a water proofing membrane requirements and would you recommend using it on pool ceilings kinda like red guard? Can I paint on top of it?
It would depend on what the requirements are for the waterproofing membrane. I would not reccomend this product for a overhead application. It is not thick enough to apply overhead. Also, paint most likely would not adhere to the surface afte it has been sealed.

Baracade is a penetrating sealer, but don't think it will penetrate in to Flagstone. You would be better off with a surface sealer
