About the curing agent

The Granite vanity top is much sealed after installation, which helps prevent the infiltration of those mixtures that would contaminate the countertop, but it is not strong. Sealing mainly depends on the type of granite and how often the countertop is used and will need to be resealed within 1-4 years. To test the effectiveness of the conditioner, drop a few drops of water on the countertop, if the water seeps in quickly, it means resealing is necessary. Conversely, if the water condenses into beading, then resealing is not necessary. You can buy conditioner at a home improvement store or a more specialized store without having to reseal the entire countertop.
