tumbled marble advice please

[wetdec]

Hi Wet Decs
Definetly not travetine i'm also doing a unhoned travetine mosaic border as well outside the shower area.
On the back of the mosaic it describes the stone as tumbled marble,is white/greyish when dry,fairly heavy and more denser than trav.
There are areas of the mosaic that are unhoned.
Have today sealed and grouted the trav and was planning to do the same on Monday with the marble then a second seal to all.
Hope on the right track,all appears to be going well.
Cheers

Then its Bianco tumbled marble..............Its dense so seal once after grouting and when dry imo as if you try to overseal your quite likely to get run marks.........

IMO - even if it has holes I would seal the tumbled 'product' first with a roller on the surface, it makes it an awful lot easier to clean off and the clour doen't change with the grout. The holes tend to be large enough for the grout to hold

Not so, to fill holes you should be filling with grout with sealer is not good practice as they eventually get dirty especially the finer ones, the release factor is also a big issue with reduced grab on bigger pores/holes .............
