No, you didn’t apply correctly. Reapply, then wipe off the excess after 15 minutes. Let cure. Then repeat. Repeat. You’ve got a really porous Stone there. More like a hard sponge.

Ok thanks Sophie!

What kind of stone is this?

I am also curious as to what stone it is.

I bought light grey/white granite .. loved the look until the stains kept coming. EVERYONE kept saying the same thing regarding not sealing properly. It WAS sealed properly, the light granite just shows stains. I ended up getting quartz later which was best decision ever. When I asked at work .. people all said the same thing .. that theirs stains also. One person said she puts foil all over if she "frys" anything. QUARTZ is the answer.

Here is a great link for some thinking about a white granite

I have been doing some research because I like the look of light countertop.

Yes the stone is river white granite

Thanks boxerpal. We are going to try one more sealer recommended on here & if that doesn't work then I believe these countertops are going to have to be babied...

pandang81: If you have any leftover scraps or can get your hands on a small sample, it would be easier to test on a small area rather than your entire counter top -- good luck.

We do have a large piece leftover. Will give it a try.

I used BulletProof on my limestone (very porous) bathroom counters several years ago and have had no problems with staining, circles or anything else. I pay attention and don't let spills or wet bottles set for long. I do know you're supposed to shake the container during application.

We lathered the sealer & kept it wet for 20 min. However we didnt wipe it completely off before it dried (per instructions )so had to go back & scrub residue off later.

Panda,,you answered your own question. You didn't seal it properly, therefore, it's not sealed. Start from scratch and follow the directions to the T
