Sealer for tiled countertop??


Question:How do I need to apply the sealer? This is what I was thinking, and just wanted to make sure. I need a bowl to pour the sealer in, a bone dry sponge and that's it? Dip the sponge in there, squeeze a little and just wipe it on like I'd wipe my counter clean?? Please confirm my idea or correct me!! Thanks!

Answers:
The easiest way to do it is to go to a tile store. They sell a little plastic bottle with a small brush on the end. It allows you to just paint the sealer on the grout lines.

Here is picture of one, just ignore the other tool in the photo. This is the best photo I could find.

Yes, but don't use a sponge, use a white rag instead. Also wear rubber gloves, and tape up any unfinished wood the sealer may come in contact with. Try and make an even coat, and don't let it puddle Also make sure there is no moisture in the tile. Like if you just set it, you need to wait at least 48 hours, but a week would be better.Moisture in the setting materials can cause the sealer to bubble. That pretty much covers it, and in 4 years of setting tile, I have never seen anyone mess up a seal job, so don't sweat it.
