The 23111 Gl-Bonus Masonry Protect has drawn mixed reactions from customers, showcasing a polarized experience with this product. While some users found success in applying the sealant to their pavers, noting a significant enhancement in appearance and a decent lifespan of about six months, many others encountered severe issues that overshadowed any positives. Positive feedback highlighted its ease of application with a roller, and several customers reported that the product offered a fresh look to their pavers, drawing out colors effectively. They mentioned using it as a necessary part of their maintenance routine for winter protection, indicating a sense of satisfaction with its performance in that domain. Conversely, numerous negative reviews recounted disastrous experiences when applying it to surfaces like concrete and brick. Customers reported a troublesome sticky residue that remained post-application, making surfaces feel like they had a layer of glue. The product also led to white streaks and uneven looks on various surfaces like freshly laid concrete, leading to costly remediation efforts to rectify the issues caused. Feeling misled and frustrated, several customers expressed disappointment not only in the product's performance but also in the Thompson brand's reputation for quality. In summary, while some users have found value in using the 23111 Gl-Bonus Masonry Protect for paver maintenance, significant concerns over its effectiveness and the quality of finish on other surfaces have resulted in a net negative sentiment from a substantial number of customers. **
