Hello!
I was wondering if I should seal my
bluestone crazy paving (which I just remortared) with Crommelin penetrating sealer and water repellant natural finish? Will this help keep the mortar clean and resist stains from squashed fruit?
Thank you 
Hi @cococat,
Have the pavers been sealed previously? If not, then Crommelin Natural Finish Penetrating Sealer And Water Repellent would be an excellent choice that will not only retain the stone's natural finish but provide that protection from staining that you need; it also does not increase surface slipperiness.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Great stuff, @cococat. Just do a small test section in an inconspicuous location to ensure you are happy with the sealer finish before committing to the whole lot. Remember the pavers need to be bone dry before adding the sealer.
I can't wait to see your results.

Hi Mitchell
I used the Crommelin Natural Finish Sealer. It did not alter the look of the bluestone at all but seems to have worked as a sealer! Hopefully now they will be easier to maintain! It recommends only one coat for bluestone- just wondering if I should do another?
Thank you! 😃
Hi @cococat
Sealer can ruin natural stone look. Can i suggest you try 2nd coat in a out of the way spot first. 
That's great to hear @cococat.
It would be my recommendation to follow the directions of the product. I suspect dense stones like Bluestone should only have one coat applied, as any more than that will build up on the surface instead of penetrating. This could lead to undesirable wear to the coating. If you've applied one coat, then that is all that is needed, and you can re-coat in the future when there are signs of wear.
