Quick question, I'm doing a bathroom with a natural stone border and I've bought some Lithofin Stop-Stain today to seal it. Do I need to seal it before or after grouting the wall?

I would lay the borders out on the floor and seal first before fixing..... a lot easier than trying to mask the tiles...

Hmm, thought as much, guess where they are...on the wall! I'll mask the wall up and do it that way.
