stain stop plus or colour intensifier

[weissy]

i am trying to get wet look for external patio slate floor and was advised to get lithofin stain stop plus

what is better stain stop plus or lithofin colour intensifier ??

Hello and welcome........neither will give you a wet look....they are impregnators...Topical sealers give the wet look but cannot last long when used outside...

whats going to give me the closest to what i am looking for with at least 2 year service ??please \?

Lithofin slate seal will give you a gloss/wet look but will last about a year depending on conditions exposed to.....

I only use lithofin but there might be other brands that members can recommend to use outside and leave a wet look....

i believe the slate seal would only last about 1 year at most and 100 m sq would be a bit expensive to cover annually.......and someone did say that teh slate not really suitable for outdoors?? what do you think ??

I don't think it's really suitable.....but when you are after a wet look...this will be the problem ..because it is a topical/surface sealer that will give that look and these won't last long outside...
