Zorro Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Everyone is supposedn to seal their KK every so often. I just sealed mine after two seasons and hated the idea of using a paint brush to go over the many joints. Instead, I bought a $2.49 spray bottle and sprayed the sealer over the entire bar-b-q. It went really fast. BUT, I hated the way the once shiney tiles looked with a smudgy film all over. The solution to that--I used a new dry Scotch guard spunge like it was sand paper and it cleaned off the film leaving the grout joints sealed and the tiles like new. I don't know if this would damage the tiles but from the way it looks, I don't think so. If there is a better way to seal the joints in a reasonable amout of time without harming the tile surface, I would love to hear from you!

Zorro Apply the sealer then wipe off the excess grout sealer with a damp sponge before it dries and you should not have that haze problem. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 You can also get an aerosol sealer at the home improvement store. It used to available at Home Depot under the name "stand and seal". You just spray it on. Worked like a champ on my moms tile floors. I saw in expose in the newspaper some time ago that the product was killing people from breathing too much of it in after indoor use, and HD and the manufacturer were ignoring the issue, slow to recall, etc. Not sure if you can still get it, or what the new name for it is. I think your plan probably worked just as well, and probably applied a deeper concentration of sealant, too. I am not sure I would want to try it on the matte finish tiles, though. It may be harder to remove than from the shiny ones. So, are you going to wax your Lambo with the turtle wax you apply with the hose-end sprayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naldo Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 What About 2.2s? Does anyone know if sealing is still required with the new grout formulation on the 2.2s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumrtym Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Dennis said that sealing the grout was no longer necessary given the new material he's using on the current production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
