Anybody?

I’m thinking of using Gator seal wet look for my Inca pavers around the pool. Any suggestions on whether this could make my pavers more slippery when wet? Is this a good type of sealer? Should I be considering other sealers? When it’s time to reseal (maybe in 2-3 years I presume) will there...
