Induction sealing is the process of bonding thermoplastic materials by induction heating. This involves controlled heating an electrically conducting object (usually aluminum foil) by electromagnetic induction, through heat generated in the object by eddy currents.
Induction sealing is used in many types of manufacturing. In packaging it is used for package fabrication such as forming tubes from flexible materials, attaching plastic closures to package forms, etc. Probably the most common use of induction sealing is cap sealing, a non-contact method of heating an inner seal
to hermetically seal the top of plastic and glass containers. This sealing process takes place after the container has been filled and capped.

Hi all,
I'm tiling a cooker and worktop splash back with some crackle glaze tiles. The makers say they need to be sealed before grouting. Now, I'm on a really tight budget, and £20 for a litre seems a bit much to me, so can I use either some HG Impregnator that I have left over from a previous...

Im just passing this on to you, as I have had the Stone Federation in looking at this Basalt Bathroom that is now stained to high hell. It appears that I should have not followed the architects instructions to seal with Lithofin and should have known better.

When grouting a shower cubicle, I understand that the corner wall joints and shower tray joints should be sealed with silicone.
Should these joints be grouted first and then sealed with silicone, or should they be left grout-free and the whole joint be made with silicone?
