Hi Guys just a quick query if any one could give some advice please.
i have a small project of about roughly 3 or 4 sq metres of chinese slate to put down in a little cloakroom.
After i lay it on rapid set adhesive whats the best step for sealing before grouting?
Do I seal the whole tile ? Or do i try to keep the sealer away from the tile edges at this point?
Will the sealer prevent the grout from bonding to the slate if the sealer goes down the edges of the tile?
Obviously will be cleaning tile before sealing and applying sealer again over everything after grouting etc.
I will be using Lithofin Slate Seal.
Many Thanks

the slate needs to be clean and dry after fixing , then you can seal before grouting , all instructions should be on the tin...
Many thanks for reply.
Do i need to keep sealer away from tile edges before grouting though?
Thanks again
