Friends,
I've been sharing your thoughts with my contractor client. He is curious if anyone has any experience dealing with Portuguese limestone and if this is even a viable material for this application? ? Again, any thoughts or insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just use the Prosoco!
Sent from my iPhoneFrom south Florida to find a contractor who actually cares about what will happen to a floor after it's installed is truly rare.
Here what I would doI would call tech support of densifier your gonna and ask for district representative. Ask the reps have they used Densifier on limestone, who used it and ask for their number.I have experience with some reps they promise everything will work , then I follow instructions to the T and it fails , the rep I dealt with automatically said it was an install problem (me). Moral of this story do your homework and cross your t dot your i 's .If you do something for this job document everything and video mixtures ad procedures COVER YOUR ARSE

This contractor is concerned about putting a soft stone in a very high traffic area. He is looking to do whatever we suggest if it will help strengthen the stone. I believe that he just wants to do whatever is possible to make this product more durable.
I am very familiar with the new material that Ameripolish has out. We use it a great deal in our concrete polishing. I've also talked with Darren at sealsource about using their materials on stone. I guess I'm just beating the bushes to get feedback for a very good client.
As always, your time and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Here is my 2cents on Densifiers. I have worked with several of them when I used to polish concrete. They all say that they will dust proof the floor, they also say that it will harden the floor if applied correctly. With regards to stain (lithium based) once you apply finish polishing concrete the last step you would apply " protecter and then burnish it.But none of them say anything on application on natural stone.

Second attempt starting this thread. Client installing 10,000 sf of Portuguese limestone. I don't have the name handy but it's definitely on the soft side. My clients question is what is the best densifyer or hardner and once applied is there anything further that we can do to protect it. The stone is a honed finish.
Your time and input is appreciated. Thanks.
