Mom's tricks

So we have just finished tiling our house thanks to my parents and it looks great! For the sealing part of it they weren't there but my mom gave me some tricks that helped a ton.

this is the sealer that we used.

You put that into a contact solution container.




then you just tip the bottle into the cracks and it pours a great straight line along the grout. you don't even have to squeeze it just comes out.


My mom wrote the instructions on the bottle for us to remember.


The first coat soaks up a ton, that is why you have to make sure your grout is dry so it will get soaked all the way in.

The second coat you put on 1/2 an hour later this soaks up a bit but not nearly like the first does.

The third coat is applied 1 hour later and this just seems to sit on top but it is just slowly seeping in.

Let this sit for 6 hours to dry completely( at least in Idaho where it is so dry).

Advise: if you miss the crack a bit with the sealant that is ok after it is dry it will slowly wear off. If you don't want to wait for it to wear off then you can use a magic eraser and it comes off even dried.

Good luck
