Ask the Old Farmer: Could you tell me how to
seal the cement between my flagstones on the
floor? M.H Schenectady, N.Y
Get some clear concrete sealer from a paint store and a
paintbrush the same width as the joints between the
flagstones Apply the sealer carefully to the joints
only. If you get any on the flagstones, you will have
shiny areas. You could, of course, seal the entire flag
stone floor
