Hi,

Just looking at the instructions for Stonetech sealers and they say to use a paintpad, roller or brush. I'll use either a roller or paintpad. Just wondering if foam rollers are OK? Foam paintpad's? What exactly am I looking to get from HD to apply the sealer with?

Thanks,

Dan

I don't care for the foam ones myself as the don't hold the sealer well. it drips all over, i use regualer paint rollers.

Thanks Dave.

So if I did choose to go with a foam roller, I wouldn't have to worry about some sort of strange chemical reaction?

The foam roller may be more of a headache than necessary.

what are you sealing, the surface or just the grout?

for grout I like to use a sponge brush, or a narrow hair brush.

for surfaces I prefer a paint pad, you don't get too much waste with the sealer.

Going to be doing a floor in the next week or two and then walls a bit after that. I'll try and find a paint pad. Makes sense to not waste the sealer since it's pretty pricey. Thanks.

shure line paint pads is what I use, from Home Depot. They are black/red/green and you can buy replacement pads for the handles.
