Did you use these alcohol inks on tile? And if so, did you use regular glazed white tiles? What did you use to seal them?

I have not used them on tile but have used the on metal and glass. I would experiment (the tiles are $.20 at Home Depot) with the white glazed ones. If you get the unglazed ones you will not be able to control the bleed because the porousness of the stone will absorb it. I did not have to seal it with anything when working with metal or glass. I would recommend not sealing it because you can get "spots" from the sealant.

As far as design work goes, they're alcohol proof. Using rubbing alcohol on paper hasn't ever removed the ink for me but I'm not sure they're so indelible that they'll hold up in pure ethanol for an extended period of time. Maybe buy a single one from an art supply store and test it?

I have used mod podge spray sealer on printer paper and laserjet printing with no problems. Just make sure your ink is completely dry before sealing!

I used the Behr Wet Look High Gloss Concrete Sealer from Home Depot. After the Ardex cured on my countertops for two days, I sandwd them down doe probably 90 minutes so they were smooth but still had texture. Cleaned up all of the dust, then applied about 12 thin coats of sealer over 24 hours. My blog features the whole process I used at thefinalboardingcall.blogspot.com

I used it to seal my marble countertops. With a clean towel, I "damp" mopped it over the countertops. Let it sit for a few hours and then repeated.

Hi Amazonfan111,As Paul alluded to we do have another product for Tile & Grout, however if the grout lines are very small and the majority of the surface is the mosaic glass tiles, we would generally recommend using the glass product. This will adhere better to the glass than to the grout, however if you reduce your expected coverage by about 35% you will have quite good results. I'm not sure that this will last to three years on the grout, but it will definitely be better than an untreated surface!If you have any other questions please do give us a call at our USA office and we would be happy to help!The EnduroShield Team Hi Amazonfan111,As Paul alluded to we do have another product for Tile & Grout, however if the grout lines are very small and the majority of the surface is the mosaic glass tiles, we would generally recommend using the glass product.

no i usually brush the glaze on with a nice paint brush and letting it dry for a bit until i set it down, when you are done with the paint brush you have used make sure you wash the paint brush really good so the glaze doesn't dry up on the paint paint brush. Trust me, i have had experience with that!

I don't know for certain, but I used it on tiles with alcohol ink designs on them that had dried/cured for over 24 hours and it made the designs run a LOT.

We used this material on Arizona Buff stone floors and it worked great. We also used it on our tile shower and it worked great. We used the cleaner made by the same company first then applied the sealer. This product will leave a glossy finish which is what we wanted. If you want a satin or flat finish use something else.

I use rubbing alcohol. It evaporates the moisture on the blades to keep them from oxidizing.

My grout is white. I had tiles placed as close together as possible. Don't know about sealer.

I generally use Mod Podge, but any paper glue will work. As far as a glaze goes it depends on whether you want a shiny surface or not. My go to...Mod Podge...I have also used Aleenes Clear Gel Tacky Glue inside and out, also Demensional Magic. Experiment and have fun...

I believe that I remember if you had rust, you needed to treat that first. I would contact the manufacturer for more info, I did not have that problem, but I can tell you it is a GREAT product for painting over bathroom tiles!

I used a cheap hairspray to help seal the envelope - Aqua Net. There are other sprays designed to seal that you can get from craft store to accomplish same goal. BY THE WAY: The ink dries very quickly so no need to heat to attempt to speed drying. It literally dried within seconds.

With the older ink formulas, a bit of alcohol rubbed on the pad and letting it sit awhile helped some. With the newer, washable inks - not sure. Myself, if a bit of alcohol or water didn't liven the ink up some, I would look into buying a bottle of the roll-on inkers if they still manufacture them. They look like one of those roll-on deodorant bottles but have ink pad ink in them. If none of the above are helpful, toss it and buy another one.
