When you want to seal stone without over-spending, this is the sealer for you. Tile Guard Natural Stone Penetrating Sealer maintains the natural look of tile by not imparting a shine. This protects grout, porous stone and tile against stains from water and oil-based liquids.

1. Apply a small amount in an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with surface to be treated, and to confirm satisfactory results. Wait for 24 hours to determine suitability.
2. Read all directions and warning on package before using.
3. Be sure grout is dry before sealing; wait 48 hours after grouting to seal.
4. Ensure surface is clean and dry; existing sealers and coatings should be removed prior to coating.
5. Apply 1 to 3 coats of Tile Guard^® Penetrating Sealer. Use specific tools; for smooth stone or tile; dense sponge applicator or paint pad; for rough stone or rile, sprayer or brush. Wipe up excess sealer where pools remain.
6. Completely wipe surface dry, 3 to 5 minutes after each coat is applied.
7. Allow 1 hour drying time between coats.
8. After 2 hours, conduct a test to determine if surface is completely sealed by applying water droplets to the surface. If water is absorbed, apply an additional coat, wait 2 hours and repeat test.
9. Surface is ready for traffic in 2 hours. Keep area dry for at least 12 hours; cures completely in 24 hours.
10. Clean applicators with water after each use.

Coverage

• Approximately 300 to 1,000 sq. ft. per coat per gallon, depending on type of tile and its porosity and texture, temperature, humidity and method of application.
