Does anyone have experience of tiling a hallway with slate tiles. My wetsaw is not the biggest for cutting them. Also what's the best way for sealing slate. I have been told to use linseed oil? | ||||||||||

hello mate.......do not use linseed oil on slate..it is not porous enough to absorb it. After getting it clean and dry.. i use lithofin slate seal.....2 coats...1 before grouting and 1 after......... Most wetsaws will cut standard size slate no probs....which on do you have..? | ||

I have used impregnators on slate but now tend to finish it with wax. needs stripping once every twelve months but it gives a cracking finish. | ||||||||||
