Kevin, First of all I would not have used TK 6 on this application. I would have used StoneLoc probably the matte finish. If after the stoneloc cures if you are concerned with slip you can run a 250 honing powder over it to give it some texture and improve the slip. Do not apply slip resist to the TG 6 finish.

The area that was wet, was it only the area with the TK-6 or a larger area including the bare flagstone? Both areas I'd imagine were more slippery wet than dry (if both areas were wet).

FYI I used the TK-6 low sheen from Richard James Chemical yesterday on some outdoor flagstone 10 sq ft test area before doing the whole job. Although I pleased with the result while finishing the job today the portion that I sealed yesterday got wet and was really slippery when I walked on it. I called Rebecca at Richard James chemical about the issue and she is looking into if I can add slip resistant to the TK6. I will pass on more info as I receive it. As for now I removed the TK-6 with alkaline stripper and left the surface just cleaned for now. I did not want the liability of my elderly couple slipping and falling and getting hurt. > > Kevin Hudson > N-Motion Stone and Tile > Sent from my iPhone > > > On May 9, 2013, at 1:42 PM, "John Freitag" <jfreitag@thestoneandtileschool.com> wrote: > >> These tiles can be cleaned and re-sealed.
