Don't apply sealer until you have thoroughly washed off and left them to dry for at least 24 hrs. Basically make sure they are really clean and dry before applying sealer.

wow respect to you m8 i only did two vertical strips and a 1500x800 tray and i was worried to death that i'd be left with some high and some low,it was harder than i'd imagined,thats why i'm a sparky not a tiler!




It was a pain in the rear,i didn't tile it all in a day.I started it yesterday and even had a curved wall in there to tile all over!!

if you have a haze on them tomorrow, use an emulsifying pad (white scotch brite) to remove the haze before sealing![]()
