I just used 511 Impregnator to seal my tile and grout in my shower and bathroom floor. The instructions state that it can be walked on after 2-5 hours, but should be kept dry for 72, do we really need to wait that long before we can use our shower? Also, how many coats does a person normally need to apply when it is used in a shower? And lastly, I used a white towel to apply the sealer and really made an effort to get all the grout really good, but should I go back over the grout lines with one of those special grout tools you can use to apply sealer or is what I did good enough? Thanks!

Hi ASNOYAS, Welcome! :)

Please give us a first name. ;)

Follow manufactures directions for dry time. You've waited this long, why blow it now? :shades:

You can use a spray bottle to apply the sealer. When the grout isn't darkening with the sealer is a good indication that it won't absorb any more. We like to wait overnight between applications.
