    Default Help with stain stop application

    Hi

    I have just sealed my new light tumbled travertine floor, all 53m2 of it and used only 1 litre of lithofin stain stop sealer. Have I done it right? I applied it with a cloth and removed any excess if it white foamed but the tile shop sold me 5 cans for 2 coats! Also, my builders are back to grout tomorrow, when can they really grout if I finished with the Lithofin at 9 this evening?

    Thanks for any advice

    So grouting first thing in the morning won't mark the tiles then?

    And then I seal again after all the builders have left the room?
