Sealer for slate

[Rich Midge]

Anything not absorbed I simply wipe up then go over the floor with microfibre cloths. Trick is to keep the floor wet, keep applying the stainstop until no more can be absorbed, usually a couple of hours. It costs more this way but I always price an extra day labour at least just for sealing. DryTreat is different, 2 coats on any surface is apparently enough.

Dry Treat, is that the one that says after opening it must used in 8 days ???

Will look on a bottle in the morning.

Hi all. The tiles are being delivered tomorrow on a palett and dumped in the front garden which I thought was nice of them. My plan is to get them inside straightaway. When would you guys then separate them into there thickness group, would you do it straight away or what until they acclimatise to the indoors. The shop has sent through some builders clean to clean the tiles down with. Have you guys used this before or is it a case of sponge and water to clean the storage dirt from them. Many thanks.

I grade them ASAP and get them inside. I just use a sponge and bucket of water to clean them down

Don't use a roller it will foam up
use a paint pad applicator much better for even coats

Cheers for all you replies. The customer wants to go down the lithofin stain stop route. After the floors been fixed and grouted then sealed for the second time do you guys give it a final clean over, if so what do you recommend to use. .
