What's the best/recommended marble sealer for this island's top?

I use a spray on one I bought at Home Depot or Lowe's. This marble takes a real beating in my house with 4 teenagers and sealing it is important. Nothing works perfectly.

I have tried all the best commercial sealers and none seem to work. The top is now etched and I'm trying to find a professional to regrind and polish the top.

I have travertine floors and it works beautifully. Get the white pad to polish your floors. If you're looking to rehone the marble, get some diamond gorilla pads. Do some research on how to bring the wet look back. It's not hard. I got the wet look back on my travertine with the gorilla pads.

I use this sealant on my marble kitchen counters/backsplash. I looks shiny and wet going on, but then you buff it off and there is no wet residual look. The stone is not left shinier than before you started. I have not used stonetech bulletproof so cannot compare the two products. Miracle Sealants 511 was the product recommended by the installers and where we bought the marble.

If it were me.... I would seal it after grouting, not before. I would research Stonetech Bulletproof and more than likely use that instead of 511 sealant. From my experience, the 511 works best on granite and marble.

I used a Speedwheel Grout Sealer and Stain applicator. It's basically a plastic bottle with a small wheel attached to it. The wheel was about the same width as my grout and it worked really well.

I used a paint brush to cover uneven flagstone and it worked well. Be sure to blot any "pools" of sealer, as pools dry darker.

I would say yes. I just used it on some white brushed finished travertine. It penetrated well and left no haze. Since the marble has a matte finish, I think the sealer would perform in a similar way.

I personally bought it for granite. I would use a wax or something on marble, I think.

You can finish the top with Arm R Seal SATIN finish. Use at least 5 coats for a good protective surface. Sand between coats with 400 grit and finish sand after last coat dries with 600 grit. Works great!

I don't usually seal my stone work ( not my nature or use ) but I'd try going to Home Depot or Lowes and read the labels...or ask a countertop outfit what they use. Lots of option I think, dep on your application. Hope it helps - have fun.

Sorry. I can't say. I bought it specifically to seal granite, and it did a great job. Hope someone has an answer for you.

Above paint? I'm not sure. Altho I sealed up my chimney and red paver patio with it, seemed to the trick. Will know more come spring �. It does defiantly give the stone a darker more complex look overall. So far satisfied.

I would seal it first with a water-based primer or bonder. XIM has one in white that would be perfect.

I use the stone tech for my granite counters in the kitchen. I also have carrera marble counters in the MBR and found " Marble Wax" by Town Talk Polish to work very well on the marble counters. It helped with stains and rings from bottles as it protects the surface and keeps a shine. Since it would be slippery, don't use it on the floor. It also has a wonderful lavender aroma, so you won't even mind the application.

File the top coat to break the seal then soak off. Some ppl don't file its up to you :):):):)
