Stone Hearth

[juddH]

I recently put a stone fireplace in the basement. What's the correct sealer to use for the hearth. Could I just use Thompsons water seal?

Don't use Thompson's Waterseal. That stuff leaves behind an oily surface that will quickly attract dirt and you will have a mess. Find a stone/brick material supplier ( Brock White is one )and they will have specailized products for sealing stone. One is called Stone Glamour. These will leave a dry surface that will help keep dirt from penetrating the stone.

Good Luck.
