Slate on walls-sealed?

[MTiler]

Hi

This is probably a daft question but i wanted to double check, for a job Im doing.
Does slate still need to be sealed if its going on a wall rather than on the floor? Its going on two walls of a shower unit. Am i right in thinking that the water could play havoc with the slate and you could end up with a white bloom, thats caused by damp(from mineral salts in tile)?
cheers

Really well actually mate. Still scared at every job I go to but I have had nothing but really good feedback.

I have a few pics i'll be posting over the next few days of my most recent job. Really quite proud of it. Hallway with a nice design in the centre.

Wont white addy be needed on slate?

 

[GazLC81]

I would use Whitestar, I love that stuff! (In a man and his adhesive type way you understand, nothing more.)

slate is not translucent stone so no need for white adhesive.....
