Hey Ron, do I just seal the grout? Or the grout and the tiles?

[ronhazelton]

If you have glazed ceramic tile, you need only to seal the grout. Porous tiles like saltillo (Mexican) tiles, limestone and others do need to be sealed to avoid staining.

@brookealana81 that's something home depot retards tell folks... it's not true... it just needs to be roughed up like he does in this video and it WILL bond perfectly. I've done it for years ;)

wow i dont agreed with this,

1 grout can be cleaned

2 the second tool you showed can damage tile if not used properly i wont recomend

3 you applied unsanded grout on tiles that have big grout joint ( it will crack)

4 when applying grout let dry for 15 minutes then wipe clean most of grout

this tile has clear coat wich wont trap grout, on a porous tile if you leave such a thick film you either have to replace the tile or acid wash tile if not done properly could permanetly damage tile

hello there. I got told if you want to re grout over old grout you need to completely scrape out the old grout first and basically start from scratch because the new grout won't take to the old grout.

NICE. I would like to look into those products a little more. It's seems like a more expensive route but I like it!!
