The point of sealant is that it won’t come off easily. But rebar with painted-on sealant is most likely less able to properly attach to concrete. Therefore, it might be difficult to use properly sealed rebar for further construction?
- meowster 5y agoGrind it off or use some kind of paint remover.

- periheli0n 5y agoRebar sealant would only help if the entire rebar is sealed, not just the exposed bit, since moisture will creep in where the rebar exits the concrete. And even then, moisture inside the concrete wall may well cause other problems in the long term.
