Hi

I have a new light grey sandstone patio with jointex jointing. I am going to use Lithofin Stain stop plus to seal the patio, should I also paint it on to the jointing or just the stone?

The jointing is water permeable, is this something I want to keep to allow water to clear?

Also it doesnt mention anywhere in the instructions about numbers of coats, does this mean that i only need to apply one? If more how long do you need to wait before coats?

Thanks in advance!

Yes do the pointing/joining as well, the Lithofin is an impregnating sealer so breathable, You should only really need to do one even coat just cloth off any excess sealer that hasn't soaked in, the stain stop + is a colour enhancing sealer, so you will have a depth of colour slightly darker then you have now, Water will still "bead" of the surface when wet for a while, just doesn't disappear straight away.
