A stain is a discoloration that can be clearly distinguished from the surface, material, or medium it is found upon. They are caused by the chemical or physical interaction of two dissimilar materials. Accidental staining may make materials appear used, degraded or permanently unclean. Intentional staining is used in biochemical research and for artistic effect, such as wood staining, rust staining and stained glass.

Stain stop plus over grout

Lithofin Stain Stop on travertine tiles - before and after grouting?
We have cleaned down the tiles using a damp cloth to get rid of the chalky residue. My plan is to seal them now with Lithofin Stain Stop, fit and then seal again. How long should I wait between sealing the first time and fitting? And is there a special way for them to dry?- Katie*
