Looking to seal pebble shower floor before grouting (and leave it completely natural looking w/o shine). Will this work? Or use Stonetech Bulletproof?

I use this sealant on my marble kitchen counters/backsplash. I looks shiny and wet going on, but then you buff it off and there is no wet residual look. The stone is not left shinier than before you started.I have not used stonetech bulletproof so cannot compare the two products.Miracle Sealants 511 was the product recommended by the installers and where we bought the marble.

This worked for me over a shower I did. All tile walls with glass accents. I grouted first as you want the sealer to not only seal the tile ( pebbles ) and the grout from water intrusion. Not shiny, just sealed. I will reseal once each year.

I used this on a kitchen Travertine floor and it still looks very natural (not shiny). It was recommended by the man that put the floor in. He said it was the best product he had found thus far. I would definitely recommend it.

If it were me.... I would seal it after grouting, not before. I would research Stonetech Bulletproof and more than likely use that instead of 511 sealant. From my experience, the 511 works best on granite and marble.

No, IF you need to seal you granite countertop,use POROUS PLUS also made by miracle

I use it on bathroom granite - its the same as my kitchen granite. Is there a lot of grout? I would try it on a small, more hidden or not noticeable area first.

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

The only place i have had this single component grout fail is in a shower application. I no longer use it to grout tile showers for that very reason. It seems to fail when constantly exposed to moisture. The first place you will notice it failing will be the floor tiles. Either use the same type of grout you originally grouted with or remove the existing grout to at least half the depth of the tile and regrout with Laticrete SpectraLock epoxy grout (See Fine Homebuiliding March 1015 Issue #249 page # 82 for details).

This is flooring, not shower tile. You need the correct backing for a shower that is waterproof, then you would put tile over it. This product itself is waterproof, but it's just a floor tile. Water would get in around the edges of it. Talk to a tile professional for more info on products that would work on showers.

After several months and several different sealer applications by the installer, which did not prevent staining, we ourselves used Stonetech and it worked great. No problem installing on granite that had had multiple sealer treatments with different products. After 1 year, it still works great.

I did not like it. I have polished granite and it put a glossy coating on it. I thought it would soak in. I must have had dust and even a hair that was missed when I cleaned bathroom granite and now they are under the seal coat. I want to know how to get it off.

I used this to seal marble tile and grout. I had used another product in my other shower which worked fine with my kitchen granite counter tops, but marble and grout are more porous. After applying this product two time with paintbrush and then wiping down five minutes afterwards with moist towel, my shower was sealed real nice. I even went back and re-did my other shower. I found it best to pour a little bit in cup and apply in uniform direction with brush and wiping down in same direction. This stuff is top notch, but open a window or turn on an exhaust fan as it has a potent smell.

this product works great. I have pale cream grout and it did fine. You may however try a small patch under something to make sure.

I would use with care on cultured marble, testing a small area first. I use it in my travertine shower but the finish is rough not glossy. I would not use it on my shiny marble kitchen countertops. Cultured marble is supposed to have a man made polymer sealant of some sort so if that seal is good you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes I used this on my slate floor tiles and they turned out very nice. However make sure if you have current sealer on them that you spot test it some where first, they may interact with each other causing it to gum/bubble up.

It's a sealer with a gloss finish. I'm not sure what you're using it on, but it's meant for absorptive surfaces like rough stone and grout. It's not meant for an already sealed surface or a very smooth surface like granite. Be careful not to let water sit on it for too long. If water sits on the finish, it gets kind of soft and milky. I used it on the slate tile backsplash of our kitchen and it worked perfectly.

A qualified "yes." It's slow, and one cannot expect perfect results. It requires time and scrubbing AND you must clean the steamed area immediately. So...it does work. We've done it with reasonable success. If you do get the grout clean, seal it ASAP or you'll be doing it again inno time.

It may work, for how long?!?! If your floor cracked, there must be a reason for that. You try to cheaply fix it this way, it could just break the glue connection or crack next to the glue. The stuff is strong, at least for my needs, but how well it'll for for that kind of a patch? It is pretty much white so it would blend in. It's for marine use, to it can take a water beating. I used it on my Jetski where it's working out great so far. A shower floor is not quite the same. Without actually seeing it, it's a toss up. Normally of say fix the floor the correct way with a new floor. Maybe it's time to just redo the whole shower area. That's what I would do. Then again I can do that type of work myself and I have a second bathroom so I won't be without a shower. I wouldn't be paying for someone else to do the work. Good luck whatever way you go but get it fixed fast. With a crack on the floor you can be getting water damage under there.

I never used it on grout or shower tile. However i think it would work great on the tile. We use this product for my dads headstone which is granite and it works amazing. Hence the name :)

I'm using it to seal my marble tile in the bathroom. I found this stuff after reading this blog. She tests marble using this sealer - and just good info all around. She summed up my own thoughts completely. LOVE MARBLE! http://petchhouse.blogspot.com/2006/03/sealing-marble-acid-test.html
