After applying the sealant to slate and wiping up as directed, a waxy residue was left behind, even after 3 days. What did I do? Can I fix it?

I had the same thing happen and it was still a bit tacky too. I just let it cure a couple days longer until exposed it to water and it did go away without any issues.

I noticed that also after applying and I thought I did do large of an area and left it on to long. I buffed it out using a stand up buffer I had purchased earlier and it was fine. I did have to change the pads several times while buffing. It's been a few months since then and I've had no problems at all. I purchased this product because it was recommended by the professional that installed my tile; which is travertine. I have roughly 1400 sf of tile in my home. Hope this helps.

I had a professional to do it and there was no problem but it was not applied to slate. It was flag stone and field stone.

It seems others had your same problem, but I did not. I also applied it on travertine and while it did have a bit of tack for a bit that was all.

I did not have a problem with any residue. I applied the Enhancer after two coats of sealer.

Are you applying the Lexel over bad caulking? Then, no, you shouldn't. You should remove all the old caulking and then apply the new caulking material. http://www.amazon.com/Sashco-13013-2-Lexel-5-0-Ounce-Clear/dp/B0012DIUYW/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t#product-description-iframe

I used this product on an old black slate floor which I had stripped off 35 years of cheap sealant. It does a beautiful job. I then used Miracle Matte to bring out better color. I can 't speak to your exact situation , but it is a wonderful product .

Hi : Sorry , but i'm not sure . I know we removed the excess chips and wiped the surface clean , which took a little time . Then we appliedthe clear coat . We basically just followed the directions that came with the material . We watched the procedure on line also . Good luck

I took the care to have clean hands and a clean auto, took my time and it worked just fine. Should you decide to remove it, I'm pretty sure some wd40 or some denatured alcohol would cut the adhesive but I've not tried that since my results were good.

I used a blow dryer, some Goo-Gone and dental floss. It took a bit of time, and required more Goo-Gone after it came off to get the glue residue off too. Not too bad though.

Milky finish is generally a result of one of two issues: either it's a hard wax buildup (hard wax being like a paste wax or carnuba based wax) that has worn off unevenly and incorporated dirt into the remaining wax or a yellowing of varnish on the original finish. If it's wax based, it can usually be handled with a good wax stripper found at janitorial supply houses. (generally won't be found at Home Improvement Centers). If it's a varnish based problem, the floor must be sanded and refinished. If this milkyness came over a length of time, it will likely be a varnish issue. If it was fairly quickly (months) it's likely a wax or previous product that is failing.

Didn't apply too much; problem is that you didn't remove it all. The finish should be smooth as silk and super bright. This is a CLEANER and a polish. It takes a lot of work to remove it all. Use a very soft cloth, but you will need to rub hard, and concentrate on one small area at a time. Also, don't let it get wet for 24 hours; it has to "cure". All worth it, though.

I would say make sure it's the right temp and consistency before applying and to apply a thicker layer. Also, you may be using too much oil. I put too much oil on and the wax stayed pretty stretchy.

Try 3m caulk remover. May not dissolve it, but at least should make removal easier

How long did you let concrete dry before putting down sealer? I would apply another coat, was the sealer new? I had a similar issue with old product.

You need to be sure your floor is very clean before applying the Murphy's. if that doesn't help I suggest you look closer at the floor and make sure it doesn't have a buildup of old wax.

Had white powdery substance all over sides and bottom of dishwasher. Even after rinsing my dishes the white power residue was on the dishes. Tried running machine empty with hottest water possible - didn't work. Used vinegar didn't work. Finally called repairman and he told me nothing was wrong with dishwasher and to use Glisten. Also, he said never use vinegar in a dishwasher (only coffee makers). Told me to try Cascade Gel without lemon! Well, the Glisten worked like a charm! Used 3 months ago and the interior and dishes are sparkling. Save repair costs and try Glisten, Cascade gel and hopefully, you too will see amazing results.

I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals. It comes in a small container and can be purchased at a local hardware store such as ACE. I would apply it with a finger, let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. This product may help, but using a rag instead of your finger will spread it around more. I use the silicone grease to coat the seals on the outside compartments to keep them from sticking as well. This is a great seal protector and lubricant, but when used with a rag, it's hard to control where it goes. I do use it on a rag for doing the back side of the seal which is in contact on opening the slide. Hope this was helpful. I would use a good grade of silicone grease on the seals.

Yes, that was my experience as well. Unfortunately, the entire contents seems to have dried up in my tube, which is really too bad because it does seem to work well otherwise. It may be better to purchase this sealant in a much smaller quantity.
