Default Seal for slate

Problem has been solved by Aldis stocking slate ones at £5.99 - very basic but a good pro-tem solution at that price.

Can someone come up with a DIY material for sealing it? I've googled on the topic and only find commercial items that would cost more than the original purchase. I've got various waxes and oils associated with wood turning.

Oil is the traditional and proven finish for slate fireplaces and work
surfaces. Olive oil will do the job, wiped off well. Or danish type oil,
or a mixture.
