tony,<br><br>do you know if it is an acrylic based sealer, if you can find that out or do a pull test you can apply some very durable top coatings i live in utah and we apply some coatings that are bomb proof, also we run into this problem alot where the customer is trying to salvage a coating and we have had some really good results, i can give you some ideas on how to test to see what type of coating is on it know.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I would recommend a impregnating sealer. DO NOT use any topical
sealers.  Do a good cleaning, recommend using some 250 or 400 grit honing
powder when cleaning this will give you a clean fresh looking surface then seal
it </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I
am looking for a good sealer for slate that would be applied outside around a
pool area.  The home is located on the beach.  The slate has not been
taken care of for the past 10 years, some areas are degraded and peeling. 
The owner would like to get a couple more years out of it before
replacing.  There are some areas where water may sit for a couple of
days.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.</span></p>
