Have a look at this thread the same sealing instructions will apply to you but if you have started with 1 sealer you should continue unless you only done a test patch. Limestone sealing advice. If your still not sure shout out. tiler .. | ||||||||||

Different marbles have different surface tension (the final finish on the marble). Normally with a highly polished marble it will be more difficult to impregnate with the sealer. Different make sealers vary tremendously but in general they all need a carrier to take the sealer below the surface and that can either be a solvent, water or combination. As a rule of thumb polished marble accepts solvent or combination based sealers the best. However, the best way is to carry out a test on a spare piece with a couple of different sealers until you are satisfied with the result. Be patient when applying and most importantly follow the application directions. Good Luck  Kev | ||||||||||
