In a case like this the client is better served to take out the 25 sq. ft. of slate and redo it.Slate is usually bought in boxes of 10 sq. ft. At a cost of app. $3.00 for tile, and app.$500 for takeout and replacement by a tile setter they are looking at a cost of app. $600.

I work with slate alot and if its old and shaling,you will never achieve the look of an unpatched floor.

Hope this helps

Hello Everyone.
Here's a question concerning slate.  I have a client who has a slate walk
of approximately 5 feet 
by 5 feet in front of the back door.  The slate has been damaged/dried out by
years of water and 
the top layer is delaminating from the underlying base. the top layer is a few
milimeters thick.  
The top layer has about a one foot wide section already missing leaving a ring
and depression in 
the middle, with the edges of the ring ready to crumble or tear away. I thought
it would perhaps 
respond to some form of epoxy squeezed under the edges of the top layer and
then sealing the 
whole top with some form of sealant appropriate for outdoor use.  Any
suggestions or 
experience?
Thanks
Baird
