- Q: What does acid etching involve, and what measures can I take to safeguard my slate against it?
- A: Acid etching refers to the corrosive damage caused to slate tiles by acidic substances, which can easily eat away or corrode the surface. Protecting slate against acid attack can be challenging due to its difficulty in sealing against such damage. To safeguard your slate tiles from acid etching, it is essential to promptly seal them and clean up any spills immediately.

By adopting these measures, you can effectively minimize the risk of acid etching and preserve the integrity and appearance of your slate tiles.
