Silicone joints in travertine

[ohhnoo]

At which stage should silicone sealant be applied to the internal corner joints. I would have thought the order should be to seal then grout then after the grout had dried silicone but as the mattstone sealant is designed to stop stuff sticking to the tiles so I'm not sure.

Impregnators sit under the surface of the stone and not on top.. it will not hinder the adhesion of the silicone.

I hope you don't mean to grout the internals then silicone ???? they should be left clean for silicone for expansion.

Yes I know these joints are for expansion, I mean't grout everywhere else then silicone the internal corners.

Thanks, just the way I read it, no harm in asking

While I'm on about siliconeing, is geocel bath and kitchen seal any good. I ordered Dow corning of Ebay but they sent me geocel, I know they will say it's the same but is it.

I'll answer my own question, after speaking to the seller from Ebay and a bit of research I found out dow corning and geocel are the same company and their products are the same apart from the name.
