Re: Lithofin Stain Stop on travertine tiles - before and after groutin
We would not recommend sealing prior to installation as this can trap moisture from adhesive and cause discolouration in some stones, some installers do this, and have never had problems but I still cant recommend .
Min 12 hours curing for stain stop,prior to grouting and one coat after.
Apply for 10-12 min on trav working in controlled sections , impregnate both face and edge, keep wet, keep moving and then buff fully dry, I use old white towels, if you get foaming when you apply ,don't worry , buff the tile completely dry after saturation time ,this will remove foam/ bubbles and all excess. Work the next section
Jelthetiler, if you ever get a footprint, this can be a slight excess sometimes, try to re activate the product.
Test one tile , more stain stop- keep on for 6-8 min , every min clean over with a white pad, the solvent in the product softens the excess and you clean with the pad, buff comp dry after 8 min.
poss one test to try. If this doesn't work , you can test product ASR under instruction of tech line to fully remove product.
