I am never a big fan of using sealers outside. first the stone must be dry and in a outside environment that can be difficult. Second, any moisture that is below the stone will need to escape and sealing it could reduce the evaporation rate and could result in the stone spalling. I have seen it many times. Now, I am not saying dont seal it  but it is very risky<br>
