Slate Sealant

yep, i think so, ive rang tile it all as well and they recomend the hg impregnator, they say that if my tiler hasnt wiped the excess of the tiles it will have sat on the top rather than absorb(although that is different advice from earlier as my undertanding was it was sealant and not absorbed into the tile!). basically what should i ask the tiler to do? remove it all and put somthing else on or clean up the tiles effected so far with gh stain remover and then put more hg impreginator over the whole lot, including the ones that arnt damaged?

i would ask him to remove HG stuff off effected tiles,use the HG remover on stained area before re-sealing it.Another light coat of impregnator over the lot including grout lines wouldn't do any harm,it's a try it and see job i'm afraid.

Use The Cleaner On Affected Area, Impregnate Then Whole Floor With Golv Polish , Other Wise You Will Have Strip Whole Floor If You Use Different Product To Seal Slate

does the golv polish make the floor shiney? we wanted the matt slate look, although right now i would settle for the not messed up look!

I Would Say More A Semi Gloss Finish. Also Thing Is With These Older Products ,as Explained On The Bottle Have To Be Removed Annually To Retain There Luster

do you mean that once a year we will have to use hg stainremover to take off all the impregnator and start again, or just re do the polish bit. i didnt want any sort of gloss finish on the tiles, but cant see any way round this now.

The Hg Remover Will Remove Only The Old Coats Of Golv Polish . You Can Get Away With Just Using The Impregnator The Golv Polish Just Gives That Added Protection.
