    I would use a sealer called Protex which is made by Tenax. Ideal for sandstone.

    You seal stone to the point of saturation, where as it does not accept anymore sealer... Use a sealer that will allow the stone to breath but still protects.

    A good impregnator will do this, what have you been sealing with .?
