Re: can anybody tell me the difference of them?

Hi MR. Wilson, I will try to answer your questions the best that I can.

Can anybody tell me the difference of them when they use in stone slabs?

Sealer comes in many forms, but when you are talking about stone, you should only use impregnator sealer. Impregnator sealer gets inside the stone and prevents the introduction of harmful elements to the pores of the stone while still allowing the stone to release moisture.

Wax is a temporary tool that should only be used by the homeowner that wishes to enhance the deep in color.

glue is glue, you will just need to pick the right adhesive for the application. Adhesive is use to repair cracks and chips.

resin is somewhat like the glue, but resin is used to stabilize the stone by filling pours and fissures. Resin can also be used to add strength to the stone, enhance and custom color the stone.

No

does glue=resin to coat the pores of slabs ?
No, glue or resin even coat the surface of the slab.
Quote:
does seal= resin ?
No, but resin can decrease the size of the pours and make the stone require less sealing.

Quote:
does all stone slabs needs resin or seal ?
No, some stone will not accept the sealer or resin.
