I have been searching the internet for answers to my question. I re-grouted my tile shower using premixed grout. After I finished, I noticed the package labeling stated not to seal premixed grout. I was planning to seal the entire shower to avoid the staining and mold build up in the grout joints preventing the need to re-grout the shower again! Is there a special sealer for premixed grout, or should I just leave it as is. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Charles.

Charles, the sealers just won't work on that material,it's like puttin sealer over jelly.The premix doesn't get completely hard, and isn't porous in a way that allows a sealer to be effective.I'd leave it.
