Adcive for laying slate floor tiles

[Hawkofeagles]

Hi bcurtis, I have used a solution called Lithofin a while ago for a similar purpose but I'm not too sure if it will work on slate. Hope someone out the will verify this.

Thanks for the reply.....sugar soap worked a treat....have applied first coat of sealer but noticed after reading about drying times that i have not got the unglazed finish sealer.......despite asking for wet look stuff in topps tiles.......muppets.

I'm wondering can i apply another coat of the normal sealer i have.......then grout and then finally seal with a couple of coats of wet look sealer????? Or is this a no go.....

That should be fine.
After grouting - very clean - very dry - then seal with wet look!

hi bcurtis

This is real slate from wickes, all cleaned and sealed. sealer still drying and will dry back to natural colour. I prefer the wet look myself but customers choice.

Ok folks. I'm laying 41sq meters of slate this easter weekend!! Its cheap chinese crap or varying thickness. Floor isn't that flat either LOL. Wish me luck. Will post pictures.

Off to Stevenage now to buy about 65 tonnes of flexi adhesive. :-/ I think the neighbours are going to hear a lot of swearing!!

:welcome:Al and get in touch if you hit a problem!
Uncalibrated slate is great on uneven floors and it will look great when it's done.
