I had this happened to me but with water based color enhancer sealer. The floor was a Jefferson slate which apparently has lots of oil inside of it. That is what prevented sealer to get absorbed into the stone. I used more of an enhancer to dissolve the sealer and wiped off entire floor with rugs. Then I used Klenzall from Stone Tech and my truck mount to clean the floor. After drying floor for 2 days I applied topical solvent based sealer and came out very nice.

Subject: [sccpartners] Sticky Slate After Color Enhancing Sealer

Received call from the homeowner stating the floor seems sticky 24 hours after application of the sealer.  Put a light coat of color enhancing solvent based impregnating sealer on black slate after 2 days of stripping acrylic wax.  We used black pads and bare bones stripper to finally get off the wax.  Going back in the AM, any suggestions if sealer still sticky?
