grout-only sealant versus tile-and-grout sealant?
I found two types of grout sealants:
grout sealant grout-and-tile sealant Has anyone any experience with the 2nd kind? It sounds like it would be easier to apply -- just brush the thing on the entire surface. No need to paint along the grout line and clean the tiles. Does it have any drawbacks? Does it make the tiles hazzy? Any help would be appreciated. -peter |

However you can brush either sealer into the joints and wipe off the edges of the tile with a clean cloth. It's a relatively simple task. You would have been done by now had you spent the time working rather than playing around in a usenet group ;o) |
