Hi,
I'm a beginner in the tile sealing world and have run into a frustration. I first cleaned the floor with the Miracle brand of tile cleaner and rinsed it. After that was dry, I put down a coat of the impregnator 511? (think that's the right name) on our new tile floor (in a rental we are remodeling) to seal it.
Several days later, noticing that it didn't have much shine, I went to HD and got the big yellow jug of Tile Lab gloss finish and applied that to the floor like I would do with wax on my own kitchen floor.
Came back the next day and found that only parts of the tile had a nice shine and there were blotches of 'unshine' all over the floor and places where the TileLab stuff beaded up.
How do I fix this? My son thought perhaps there wasn't enough of the 511 on the floor and decided to apply another coat of the 511 over top of the Tile Lab stuff. Well. The floor is definitely sealed. Should we strip the whole thing and start the sealing project over again?
