Hi...

Just lay the tiles and then when dry grout up....then clean and leave to dry.....then seal using an impregnating sealer.....i use lithofin stainstop mn...this leaves a natural finish but other sealers can leave a sheen if it is required.......

I lay.........white sticky.

Seal..........go for a coffee and a read.

Grout.

Seal again
