I have a slate exterior entryway that needs sealing. Will the surface be super slippery when wet from rain?

I used this product on pebble tile. So that isn't really slippery. I did use it on some flat tile, and when I used a second coat, it flaked up white which was very dissapointing. I'm not sure what it will do for slate, which is slippery. Perhaps finds a product that is specific for slate tile and will discourage the slate from being slick. What that would be, I do not know.

I have no experience. I used it to seal the exterior of a clay pot that I had made. Never used it on a floor.

No, I have used this product for years [until I could not find it locally] on an exterior slate entryway. The surface will not get slippery when it is wet.

The floor is very durable, but I'm not exactly sure of its makeup. I do know; however, that it did not allow any leakage or moisture in during a very heavy downpour. We also have a tarp down under our tent and I pretreat with rain repellant. We had minor leakage at the nylon straps for the tent stakes. I had not treated those areas and the base of our tent was pulled very tight. I consider the leakage that we did have to be because of that tightness and the size of the leakage was less than 3 inches in diameter (really insignificant). Both spots were near the front door.

It is not specifically weather sealed, but as long as you aren't dunking it underwater, it certainly looks like it could handle the occasional splash or rain

I haven't used it for waterproofing but I just tested it out and it does appear to be. I put the fabric underneath my faucet and the water slipped right off and whatever stayed on easily wiped off. I also noticed that the water did not soak into the fabric.

I haven't installed my awning yet to test it in the rain. The Fabric on mine is tightly woven and looks that water can not pass through.

Hey Barbara, depends on how hard rain hits the door. If it is light, it will keep occasional rain out if the sweep hits the door sill right. However, if you get hard driving rain against the door, I would have a seal under the door, something high quality

It will prevent water from entering provided you have the rubber on garage door against your floor/slab even with no gaps or openings. If its pretty level you will be fine.

I used it on the outside door with no problems at all no rain got in nothing abnormal I will also note that I bought a second one of these as well it works so good .good luck

If you seal it will silicon or some black rtv and maybe a little custom rain shield for the top half just so it's not getting direct weathered.. I think it'll do just fine

I had it over my garage door and the 1st night it rained, water got into the battery compartment and motion sensor. I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it got most out to the point to where it would work again. I put a sealant around anywhere that i thought water could get in and it's been great ever since. It just doesnt look the greatest lol. So to answer your question, it isnt weather proof unless you make it that way. Hope i helped.

I would think "no" since it dries on very smooth and shiny/glossy. The only chance you would have is to buy the additive that gives this product traction. If you do use this product for walking surfaces, I would suggest the additional additive for traction, anyway. Since you will want to apply tile/grout to it in your case, you too should benefit from the additive.

While it appears to be completely sealed and weather resistant, I believe I read in the accompanying literature that it is not officially rated for exterior applications. I would trust using it in under a soffit if it did not rain directly on the light.

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)

This rubber seal has worked very well for me, it does not allow any rain or snow into my garage. MY driveway has a gentle slope to the street and direct water away from the garage door. I have had no water in the garage when the rain is blowing directly at the garage door. The rubber seal is glued to the ground and does a good job.

The work surface is a thin high density pressed board with a kind of laminate on top. I had the same concern about moisture and the work surface. We have used it on a couple of trips with out problems, but I really can not answer the rain damage question. With that said I am extremely pleased with the performance of the unit.

It is not water proof, but I use a sealant like petroleum jelly and have had no problems here in FL with moisture. I would think plumber' tape would also work well.

I think something like Duck Brand 1100731 Select Grip Easy Liner would work better for non-slippage needs. We use this on the boat and it works great! It is not waterproof, but this allows for air circulation (on the boat that's a real plus - perhaps in a camper also).
