Coping, split face sealants

[JB007]

Just about finished with our remodel.
thinking about sealing our coping and split face. Just noticed there are a so many different types of sealants.
Any suggestions on what brand, type (water based, silicone based, acrylic) of sealant or any other tips on sealing or not.
-- Coping is Keystone 12x12x1 natural stone nordic silver
-- split face (above water line- raised beam) is Nordic silver 1x2 stones.
Thanks.

JB, this is probably old news by now since you first posted this at the beginning of the month and no one replied. But just to be sure, I thought I'd bump this thread to see if you did indeed figure out what to do.

Hi JB,

We recently had Keystone Shell Beach splitface and coping installed. I wanted to know your thoughts on the sealer you used. How is is holding up and if you have experienced any of the discoloring/mold mentioned in other posts?

So far, so good. It's been a year since we sealed the coping (we have Nordic silver from Keystone) and the sealant seems to be still working. Do not see any mold as of now and has not discolored my coping.

Note: we did not seal the split face stones, only the coping. I figured the spit face gets only very little water when it rains and never gets pool water since it's above the tile line.
