FAQs
How often should I apply Stovax Slate Dressing?
The frequency depends on the use and exposure of the slate. Typically, application every 6-12 months is sufficient to maintain protection and appearance.
Can I use this product on other types of stone?
No, this product is specifically designed for slate surfaces. Using it on other types of stone may not yield the desired results and could potentially damage the surface.
How long does it take for the slate to dry?
Allow approximately 2 hours for the slate to touch dry. However, it may take longer for full curing.
What should I do if I spill the oil?
Immediately wipe up the spill with a clean cloth. If the oil gets on fabrics or carpets, use a solvent cleaner suitable for the material and test in a hidden area first.
Is Stovax Slate Dressing safe to use indoors?
Yes, it is safe to use indoors, provided that the area is well-ventilated during application and drying.
How do I clean the cloth after use?

Troubleshooting
Oil not absorbing properly.
Ensure the slate surface is clean and free of any previous treatments. Apply the oil sparingly, and wipe off any excess after a few minutes.
Color appears uneven after application.
