    Lithofin Stain Stop on travertine tiles - before and after grouting?

    We have cleaned down the tiles using a damp cloth to get rid of the chalky residue. My plan is to seal them now with Lithofin Stain Stop, fit and then seal again. How long should I wait between sealing the first time and fitting? And is there a special way for them to dry?

    Granfix grouting problems

    Just used Granfix Jasmin for grouting - some of the grouting is now darker than other areas. Grouting completed a week ago. If I splash water on the tiles, the grouting goes dark and eventually will go light again. Has anyone got any idea why this is happening?
