Slate .....

[Big Rick]

Hi Guys,

Just finished grouting up my slate wetroom. Im having real problems getting the slate clean enough of the grout haze to put a 2nd coat of sealant on them (1st done before they were laid)
I've checked previou posts on here and am not sure what I can use - the guy at my local tile shop (independent not chain) has recommended HG cement grout film remover but im not sure i can use it on slate... I can if its not calciferous...??... The slate was from mandarin stone and they arent responding to my emails asking the question. Any Ideas?

On another note - I used lithofin slate seal for the 1st coat - is this ok for future coats or do i need something more "waterproof" as its a wetroom? If so will I need to strip back the slate seal or can i go over?

Sorry for all the questions on a Friday night but im just off on holiday until next sat and want to be able to steam straight back in on my return.

Thanks

Richard
