Fix,

CLEAN WITH WATER - ( allow to dry )

SEAL

ALLOW TO DRY ( as instructions )

SEAL AGAIN

ALLOW TO DRY AGAIN

GROUT

CLEAN

LTP sealers are the dogs !!!!

Be careful when sealing, do not allow excess sealer to run down edges of tiles into grout lines. Some sealers can hinder the adhesion of the grout.

Usually - radiator type roller and tray - be sparing with sealer - goes a long way !!!
Phone Specialist Tiling Products in Harrogate - they will deliver LTP sealers usually next day. These are better than HG & Lithofin sealers.

you can brush it on. depends on how much stone you have to seal. paint roler is just as good. sorry should have said to clean at each stage. thought that was common sense. I put all stone through wet cutter and mark with pencil. Most pens just get absorbed into stone. Most times i use a white adhesive.

????????????????????????????

It is good practice to keep your tiles clean as you go - took this for granted. Still need a final clean prior to sealing.
Roller usually better than brush ( except for slate )
Wet cutter or angle grinder for naturals.
Would never use pen on tiles.
White adhesive only necessary where tiles are transclucent.

what if you get some adhesive on the tile. let's say from your fingers is that tile no good or can you just rub it off?

Clean it off straight away ( standard practice ) - no probs.

Limestone and sandstone can sometimes be a problem - I would usually clean and treat these once prior to fixing.
