My slate front steps are flaking and I want to know if there is a product that will protect the slate.

The slate steps at the front door of my church are breaking off in pieces where the steel hanrails are attached. Short of cutting the stone and pouring cement in its place, is there any way to repair the joints or reattach the railings to the slate?

Go to a home improvement store and buy a clear sealer. There are several to choose. But any any sealer made to seal concrete will do. You can apply it it with a roller.

I have a slate patio on my house and slate steps in my front and back yard. The slate has been coming loose from what I believe is the concrete beneath them.
