What sealant to use on concrete counter tops?
Water Based, semi-gloss? I am in the process of putting concrete over top of my old laminate counter tops. I would like a semi-gloss sealant. So far the one I have tried i very flat / matte with no shine at all and even after 3 coats still doesn't feel as if the concrete is "protected".Looking for suggestions on a water-based sealant that has some shine to it and will protect all of my hard work for many years to come! I'd like for the concrete to have a darker / almost WET look to them. Has anyone found a product like this??Thanks in advance!!!!

At this point, as you’ve used sealant on it already, it may be tough to get the wet look. The paint department at your local home improvement store should be able to point you in the direction of one more glossy.

I used epoxy on mine and while it changes the lovely concrete texture, it's incredibly durable. We can place hot pots on it with no damage. And the shine is gorgeous! https://www.semiglossdesign.com/concrete-countertop-sealer
