Slate

- Hi, I have slate on my floors and walls in my bathroom and they have a white (soap scum?) film, no matter what I try its not coming off - is there something that can remove this and then do I put a stronger varnish/top coat over the slate?

Hijacking the post! Steve! How about a line of exterior tiles in concrete? I see you going all Batchelder with it? If you specify them for exterior and someone uses them inappropriately, you are not to blame...and I have another product to recommend in my files! And larger format too, 12X12, 12X24, etc.

I just went and dug up one of my cast glass tile prototypes in a flat file and took a snap to show you:
