    Default Black limestone nightmare.

    I had a black limestone patio laid last year. Had it sealed and it looked lovely. Then when it rains white marks show up all over it wherever water has sat for a while. Have stripped on sealer and tried various others but all end up the same after rain. What can i do bar taking it up and starting over. Any recommendations appreciated

    Ok.. Now topical sealers are not normally advisable for exterior use.. it should say this on the tin/bottle... have a look and pop back.
