Jura limestone appears to be rusting over time

[mreeves]

its in the stone (rusty spots), and i think 2 coats of stain stop is more than enough . Jura does not take in much stain stop

I agree its in the stone but there are more of these rusty spots appearing over time so keen to do something if possible to stop it happening further.

Im not sure there is anythingo be doe. Oxidation is a natural process.

You could embrace it and love it your stone is beautiful rust spots and all.

It is mineral content within the stone, very common with this type .. i have just laid 155 mtrs of the beige version and it was the same... i like it really , adds character. 🙂

With limestone you need at least 5/6 coats of sealer then a wax top coat

Can i ask why that is required..? just out of interest.

Why do I need to keep saying it - no wax on natural stone!!!!! Stone needs to breathe.

If you waxed any of my limestone.....well I wouldn't be happy, in fact Id be fuming. Stone needs to breath as Topshop rightly says.
