Hi
Done some shower tiling with no beading used, so some tile edges are visible. The tiles get wet a lot, and the tile biscuit is very porous, soaks water up like a sponge. For some reason I didnt think of this before doing it. So I need to stop the suction. Would the lithofin kr grout protector do this? If not, what could I use?
cheers, NT
NT coughed up some electrons that declared:
Sounds like some of the things I've done. It's always obvious in hindsight!
I would have thought that some sealer like lithofin would help.
SBR painted on 2 or 3 times in a 1:4 SBR:water dilution (until it stops sucking) would definately work (I've just sealed a crappy old floor and primed some new plaster as per BAL wall adhesive instructions.
My, does that stuff seal. It dries clear too. It will make the biscuit look darker though.
It's getting it in less than 5l quantities that's harder - know anyone with some?
Cheers
Tim
I know, I'll try the lithofin on a test piece, see if its effective.
