    hello
    You can use something like keraquick, or some other ady, just keep in mind that these tiles have low porosity,
    and do give the back of them a good clean, they seems come in the boxes with dusty back, when fixing open all boxes and take tiles from different boxes, sometimes they vary slightly, before sealing them check better with supplier, some good quality gulfstone don't need sealing at all, they cut easy, but smell badly
    Good luck

    if you say your putting them on walls you need to watch your weight limits as these are heavy tiles.

    Haven't seen the job yet,but could be a mix of plasterboard and plaster.I take it it would be over the weight limits for these backrounds? The tiles are most likely to be from the Gemini catalogue
