Hello from a non tiler in need of help

[jay]

Just a thought what if you spay the slate with Sure Seal (grout sealer in a can ) might work

A lot to take in , ....
grout pen sound good, but I've never used one. Does it come in different sizes? Some lines are quite thin.
And would I then use the Sealer on top of it? And would it be removable if it goes over the lines (with slate being absorbant).

Sorry, full of questions

Just looked up grout sealing spray, sounds good as well. Choices and choices,...

Wish I didn't have to buy all these things just to try them out. The Mattstone arrived today, won't have time to try
today.

Thank you, just frustrating not being to sort it out for outside. Just tried the LTP Mattstone, on which I was counting, and my
lines are nearly gone:yikes:.

The LTP Ironwax works, but is unsuitable for outside. Any thoughts on Lithofin W or Lithofin Stainstop Eco? Being waterbased might they be better?

Hello,
thanks for all the hints and replies, seem to have solved he problem.
After yet more googling (yawn ) I have found another product, AND received a generous sample.
It's called Invisiseal, and that's what it does. After using a colour enhancer, I engrave, and then seal it with
Invisiseal. The lines stay light in the rain One small engraving lay in a bowl of water for a whole day,
and it still looked good. That should resist the Devon rain :lol:

Tried the colouring in, but my lines are too fine. THANKS TO ALL
