Hello All. I am about to lay some reclaimed terracotta tiles. I have some LTP sealer to seal them before laying and grouting. My question is, should I seal the back or just the surface that will show?
Thanks.

Hi Guys.
Anyone ever fixed this tile before? Has hundreds of hairline cracks running through the glaze and soaks in moisture. Never laid them myself before so just wondering if it needs sealing prior to grouting? grouting it later today!! in white grout.
