Help sealing granite stream

[nelly]

Hi Folks

I have a stream that worked well many years ago it made from granite
stone and is approx 5 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The base and
sides are made from granite and are set on a concrete base with a
liner under the granite sets to stop leakages. Over the years cracks
have appeared in the cement joints which I can easily fix but what I
wanting advice on is a way to cut down on evaporation and leaks. The
granite absorbs heat and water so it quickly evaporates water.

What I thought was maybe using some aquatic silicone sealer to thinly
cover the granite any thoughts on this?

I have used G4 sealer but this discolours the granite so instead of
been a silvery grey colour it turns an offish grey/brown and looks
dirty.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi

The ponders have moved to a quieter venue.

Same great ponders in a setting without the trolls and noise that
developed here a while back.

See you there soon.

Yep, Froggie boi always had to check out how folks were hung and offer
to give free blow jobs as an incentive to talk to him.
