I need to protect & seal stone tile coasters. How does this hold up with frequent heat, condensation etc.. what you'd expect from hot/cold drinks?

Personally, I would not use this on stone tile. The product says durable for wood surfaces both finished and unfinished. There must be another product out there for different surfaces. Try google. Hope this helps.

I would try something more heavy duty. This is more for coating a surface that doesn't take a lot of wear and tare. Hope that helps.

Perfect for that application. I used this to coat a hand made walking stick over two coats of varnish. I use that walking stick every day, all weather and I can still see myself in the finish.

They are rather large to be used as coasters (roughly 6" square), but I suppose you could. We use them for post/pans/containers direct from the microwave. So hot stuff. Cork sort of naturally repels liquid - that's why they use it to seal wine bottles. The trivets are really good quality and sturdy.

Hi Beth, I used this on my ceramic tile floors, granite kitchen counter tops "Cielo Blanco" and also on my bathroom counter tops" Bianco Antico" and they all came out wonderful. This sealer will leave a permanent protective coating which will last for a very long time. When dry this sealer will not enhance the sheen of you granite but will enhance its beauty and depth and will leave great protection against spills that if not protected would be able to soak in to the granite tending it to look dingy over time. Hope this helps!

Very minimal insulation. I'd look at something different for hot drinks. I never tried hot drinks but it didnt keep cold ones very cold. It seems like nothing more than a big plastic container for liquids.

Yes, don't set anything wet or will sweat on the table. We use coasters normally, and a see through plastic mat for company. We love this table!

I made coasters with mine and I do put hot coffee/tea on it from time to time, no wear or tear on them yet and we've had them for almost two years.

Some people have reported issues with the ice cream setting up properly in hot/humid climates. They seem to have agreed the way to get around this is to improvise a cover over the top with cling film as best you can to keep the cold in and hot out. Then it works no issues. Good tip to know.

My proofer never gets that hot. I do agree with others that your unit is defective. I have mine, (when in use) on a roll around "school" cart. No problems with over heating that kind of composite plastic. I also have used it on tile table top. Of course it would not hurt that at all.

No, the surface is smooth, with an outer lip for spillage etc. I have not had any problems with glasses sticking tho. I imagine if it were very warm with a very cold glass I may add a piece of napkin to the coaster, but this has not been a problem.

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.

Actually it dries fast, let's say from one day to another if you don't use too many layers. I did three or four and the table is perfect, I had some stuff on it and left no residue. If you'd like to - you can do three or four layers, then next day use them and then when you'll be able not to use those coasters for a couple of days - add some more layers to ensure that nothing would be destroyed soon. Ah, between layers wait at least 15-20 minutes, cause at first it looks a bit white, but after it dries - get totally transparent, this means you can start the next layer ;)

Personally I applied a coat of red guard to waterproof the entire area, niche included. Thereafter I used a polymer modified mortar. Adhesion is very strong for tile, even natural stone such as white marble (using a white drying mortar)

Larry, I find AquaAce superior. Zero coasters. Great printed results. I used Taiyo Yuden WaterShield for over five years. Made the switch to AquaAce after trying them and loving the results.

I'm not sure as I have not spilled any hot coffee, but this product will seal your tile so it should protect it. You may want to put on several coats. I also use a saltillo tile sealer which is excellent.

The texture actually keeps glasses from sticking to the coaster. It is like sitting on little grooves. Hope this helps.

In case anyone else sees this and is wondering about it withstanding elements - I used this last winter. I regularly heated up water in a tea kettle and poured it over the ramp surface to melt snow and ice. Worked beautifully without causing any damage.

Yeah it will. I always use coasters. My table actually got a little messed up from putting a really hot plate of food on it (left a ring)
