Please help! Which of these sealers is best for Danby marble?
Comments (6)I like the STT SB sealer (Deluxe). We used it on travertine and White Thassos (and our grout). It was very easy to apply and had extremely minimal odor. I know rococogurl liked the Akemi Nano for her marble. If you call STT and speak with Stephen (company owner and developer of the products), he is a fountain of info and very helpful. There are new application instructions (since we'd last used this sealer) that were not on the can when I ordered more of the SB Deluxe last fall, and Stephen took the time to explain them to me. Basically, depending on how porous your material is, you just apply the sealer until the surface glistens, and then let it sit for 3-8 hrs until the stone appears to be mostly dry (maybe a few wet spots here and there, but nothing too much). Then buff the stone (back and forth a few times with a cloth) and that's it. If you need to apply another coat, I think you just do the same thing again (we didn't need to, as our new travertine tile throughout our downstairs is apparently not overly porous). I really, really liked how easy the stuff is to use (I didn't like the Porous Plus, if that's the stronger of the two-- a bit of a PITA to buff off the excess), and really appreciated the low-odor. So far the White Thassos in the bathrooms is holding up very well, and I imagine our new travertine floors also will....See MoreBest Sealer for Calacutta Gold Marble?
Comments (4)I've read good things about Akemi. Rococogurl highly recommends it. Below are a few GW discussions about it. I believe it's a little more difficult to apply than 511 or Bulletproof. If that is what your installer uses, he will be familliar with the application. I haven't resealed my marble but when I do, I'll be using one of the products like Akemi or SST.

Comments (9)Miracle Sealants makes very good stone and grout sealants. I like their 511 Impregnator - there is a lot of information on their website. It looks like Miracle Sealants was acquired by Rustoleum: https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/miracle-sealants/seal-protect/511-impregnator...See MoreSealer for honed Montclair Danby
Comments (3)"should it be sealed by the fabricator before install? Or does it matter?" Almost always the counter is sealed upon installation by the fabricator as part of the job. It should not be an extra charge. You can ask them if they do it so you know in advance. If they don't do it, you can do it easily, so it doesn't really matter....See MoreHU-298706873
