Braid,
I have used the StoneCare Central Color Enhancing Seal ( Solvent
Based ) and it works very well. The other sealer you mentioned will work but I think
you’ll find they are more expensive. I prefer 1 stop shopping and that’s
why I use Stonecare Central for all my products. Frankly I don’t want to
waste the time ordering products from several different sources, or traveling
to local distributor to pick up product . this waste my time and I would rather
be making sales calls and networking that chasing down products. That the
purpose of StoneCare Central, a one stop shop and with the partner discounts
you can’t buy products of equal value any cheaper anywhere else.
For the other products you mentioned I have not seen them
perhaps Dr.Fred has some additional information on them.
I will attempt to secure samples and test, if they work then I will
report back

Hi, What specific brands of impregnating and color enhancing
sealers are people using? I have mostly been using Lithofin MS Stain stop
for neutral and either lithofin or Aquamix. I see that Stonecarecentral
has some new products. Does anyone know about these?
Also, slightly of the subject but has to do with cleaning
products - Has anyone tried either Cathedral Stone's Mason RE or Arte
Mundit type 1-5 from FTB Remmers? These are white poultices that
are painted on masonry or stone, allowed to dry and then peeled off. A
conservation Architect that has hired us for some work was showing me some test
applications of these this morning , but didn't know much more about them.

Roger,
Cleaning slate is need on regular bases,
just as any other stone there are pores within the stone that will trap dirt
and needs to be cleaned. Regarding sealing of slate depending upon the finish
the customer wants there are several sealers you can use.
1. Impregnating Sealer
2. Color Enhancing Sealer
3. Stone Loc which is a topical
seal BUT allows the stone to breath, this product can deliver a mat to a
gloss finish.

I get
request to clean and seal slate. My question does slate really needs to be
sealed? The slate is always a dark color so it normally does not look
dirty. I really don’t see the need for cleaning it the same as I
would a dirty limestone floor. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Roger
