yes
lithofin MN stainstop
about £25 a litre which covers about 14M2
it is invisible when on but works a treat
my daughters mate spilled a glass of milk before i sealed it and that has caused a stain

Any benefit in getting the + one then fella, or does the standard one do just as good

@ Tony

Have you ever used a small roller with this stuff or brush only?

Sorry to bump anold thread, but I'mconsidering sealing about 100m2 of sandstone paving.

Lithofin Stainstop would cost £500-600 to apply, but I have some concerns that I would have to reapply it every year or so, and end up costing £££££££s

Does anyone who has applied it a couple of years ago still getting good results from it and still recommend it?
