Used Feast Watson slate sealer. Is it compatible with any other brand?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Banana47. It's sensational to see you make your first post after being a member for such a long time.
I presume your question arises because the Feast Watson slate sealer has been discontinued. Since it was a solvent-based product, it’s best to stick with another solvent-based sealer for compatibility. A good alternative is the https://www.bunnings.com.au/crommelin-4l-gloss-diamondtough-natural-stone-clear-sealer_p1560255 , which is also solvent-based and compatible. Be sure to carefully follow the preparation instructions on the can to get the best result
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
How do I apply....is there an application available? Found previously the roller foamed up.
Thanks for the advice.
Hello @Banana47
The data sheet recommends either a brush, medium nap roller or a lamb's wool applicator. My best advice is not to shake the sealer but to stir the contents with a paint stirrer to prevent the formation of bubbles.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

If you had issues with a roller in the past, @Banana47, I'd switch to a lambswool applicator as they are less likely to induce bubbles and foam.
Hi, i have also used Feast Watson previously. Crommelin do a slate sealer on your website, and im wondering if i can use over FW.
Unfortunately the info sheet attached to the product (15l special order) was for limestone sealer, water borne and satin finish.
Can someone provide the data sheet for the slate sealer? And if incorrect, change it on the product on line.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @GenFrunz. It's terrific to have you join us and many thanks for your question on slate sealers.
The https://www.bunnings.com.au/crommelin-15l-slate-sealer_p0638522 is also a solvent-based, so it would be the best choice over a previously coated surface that was also solvent-based, such as the feast-Watson product. Just ensure you follow all directions on preparation. You can find the technical info for the https://www.bunnings.com.au/crommelin-15l-slate-sealer_p0638522 on the Crommelin webpage. I'll have our team correct the document attached to the product page. Many thanks for bringing that to our attention.
If you have any technical questions on your project, the Crommelin Technical Advice Line is a great resource.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
