    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?
