Use a paint pad, gives good coverage . Wait required amount of time then buff off.

I use a mop but one with a flat sponge on it. There about £8 from tescos. Work very well for applying sealer as the application is very even.

Painting pad works well but be sure to remove any excess before it starts to dry on the surface with a towel after it has had time to sink in. Sealers should not sit on top of stone.

For top protection then a coat of mattstone after colour enhancer has dried.

Interesting couple of questions why would you want to put mattstone on top? Secondly if you did that would be interested on LTP thoughts on doing so? in the way would they endorse it?

Because LTP say you can.. info gained on LTP training day.. one coat of enhancer and then a coat of mattstone... if a few coats of enhancer used then do not use mattstone..

Don't see the point unless they feel mattstone gives better protection that enhancer?

I think it was to do with giving full protection if the stone was not saturated with sealer.. but i agree that if colour enhancer was used then stick with it to the point the stone is fully sealed but also if a customer doesn't want a stone too dark as extra coats of enhancer can do this then to give fuller protection then mattstone can be used.
