    Default Help I've made a boob!!

    Guys I was washing down a wall with grout residue remover (undiluted) and got 2 or 3 drops onto a slate surface and it turned it white. By the way I had put a dust sheet over the slate to protect it but somehow a few drops made it and they look like little drop marks. What do you think is my best option, please tell me I have options and that I haven't totally screwed up this lovely piece of slate. Would color enhancer work? Help, help, help!!

    The residue remover was LTP and I don't think the slate has been sealed as of yet

    If the slate has not been sealed yet, then use LTP stone oil and apply with an earbud to the lightened spots and when satisfied with result leave to dry and seal the whole floor with LTP matstone
