Default Adding sealer to grout before you apply it

I'll bet the bag of grout says to mix it with clean water.

Often polymer modified thinsets and grouts will
specifically say NOT to add latex admix.

Doesn't surprise me a store clerk has no clue.

The tile store where I bought porcelain tiles for my bathroom a few
weeks ago sold me a quart of admix to put in the sanded grout mix
instead of water to keep it from cracking. And a pint of sealer to use
3 or 4 days after grouting. I don't remember what brand.

I think I need to read the directions on the grout bag carefully; maybe
I can return the admix when I take the extra box of tiles back...

Thanks,
