Bostik Magic Repellent - Silicon Based Water Repellent Waterproofing
Magic repellent is an effective, sub-surface water, oil repellent in a solvent carrier. Upon penetration into mineral surfaces, it minimizes liquids from being drawn into the pore structure by capillary action. It leaves little or no residue on absorbent stone surfaces and consequently is
invisible and very natural in appearance.
