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.

Indeed, lithofin stone protector would do a nice job at several times
the cost for a bottle ;-)

I would have though a mineral oil and beeswax finish would be one
option. Failing that a drying oil of some kind (danish etc, or liberon
finishing oil)


Except that the wax is solid at room temperature and mineral oil isn't.
Paraffin wax is more compatible with beeswax but it's probably easier to
buy a tin of any old furniture wax, which would contain much the same.
