Slate sealing

[Droopy]

Fair play all, great info, I must be wet behind the ears but theres none so wet as those who don't ask for help and drown! taking their customers with them! I take it the Topps stuff ain't that good! I usually use the LTP sealers what's thoughts on those.

Willing to learn from those that know to better customer service

I like LTP's range.

But if you can get a water based range, then do so.
They don't blow your head off, like some of the solvent based ones do.

I did my very first slate floor last week. (been fixing marble / granite / limestone etc for ages - but never had my slate cheery popped!)

I fixed it, then washed all the slurry / dust off with the washboy.
Sealed once using a roller.
Grouted.
Next day sealed again (using Fila colour intensifier) but I used a cloth so as not to seal the grout lines which would darken and I guessed would need longer to cure.

Customer was really, really pleased, I was really, really pleased.

IMO the intensifier brought the slate to life without a cheesy overly glossy look.

Hi guys.

First thanks for all your good advice in the past.

Can anyone advise where to buy Fila Colour intensifier in larger quantities. I have 50 plus sq. mtrs of slate to seal and in 500ml bottles it is a bit pricey.
