Got these to try out

[Qwerty]

Cheers for the review. How did you apply it (roller or paint pad) and how was the cleaner to use? Will have to give it a try on my next stone job

What I don't get with this product it says to keep floor free from water upto 24hours after application. It also says apply to damp stone but else where it says make sure stone is dry .their seems to be conflicting evidence on their website .

I take that to mean the surface is dry but the stone could be damp

But what about grouting when it says to keep free from water for 24 hours that seems to be why people buy it seal grout seal all in a day

I spoke to the tech bloke and what I did was what he recommended.

Mate don't get me wrong I'm not having a go and I know others on here have done what you've done but why does their literature not read the same as their verbal recommendations. Obviously not an answer I expect anybody outside of universeal to know

Over the years I have used prob thousands of mtrs of this slate, it used to come in old crates and first impressions looked crap. However when it was laid and sealed it looked the dogs dangles we always laid ours half bond. It did vary in thickness from 3mm to maybe 30 mm which meant we went through one hell of a lot of adhesive for a solid bed fix, as for any bad lippage it was just a case of taking a hammer and chisel and slicing them off. As for uneven floors it's worth sorting the slate beforehand and maybe putting all the thin slate to one side for any high spots you encounter. Loved working with the stuff.

I've worked with plenty of this stuff. You can lay it quite rough and as long as there is a high section that you can de-laminate then it's quite easy to separate with a hammer and old wood chisel to bring it down

I laid some of this type of slate a few years back and I levelled it through taking out lippage.wish I hadn't it took forever and went through tonnes of addy! Nevertheless nice job mate
