Hi b, Welcome! Beware, as many slates sold on the market today are not true slates. Do a quick TEST and soak a piece if available in a bucket of water overnight.

Some of my favorite products for this procedure have been initial sealing with Prosoco's SLX , followed by one additional application of SLX , followed by a coat of Prosoco's Gloss n Guard after grout and slate cleaning. Another method would be almost any water based sealer prior to grouting, followed by slate and grout cleaning. Final step is a application of Sparks Stone Glamor. What type of finish are lyou looking for?

Sort and size your slate into thicknesses,,,lay the tick first and grading out to the edges with the thinner stuff where there will be less foot traffic. Wash the slate to get it clean and leave to dry
