Lithofin Stain Stop: before or after silicone sealant? - TilersForums.com

[Deleted member 50416]

Hi there

I'm a DIYer restoring a shower in my house. The tiles are limestone. Grouting and tiles have been throughly cleaned - and grouting sealant applied. I'm now ready to apply Lithofin Stain Stop. Should it be applied before or after silicone sealant?

If before, how long must I leave it to cure before applying the silicone sealnt? Tin says it takes 5 days to fully cure - must I leave it that long?

I'd be most grateful for any advice.

I usually seal, leave 24hrs and then silicone. Remember to use a neutral cure silicone on stone

Thank you so much for that advice....absolutely brilliant! I'll get the sealing done today and research the sealant. Many thanks again!
