It sure would be easier than dry-scraping it and it wouldn't matter if it tarnished the formica since you're covering it anyway.

As far as I know, all stone ...Oh, KOOL, Carolyn!!!<br /><br />As far as I know, all stone and ceramic tile have to be sealed for all applications including wall, countertop and floor. It may even be more important for countertops than anything else because of the ever present threat of bacteria getting into the grout, etc. <br /><br />I will ask Stan what the name of the sealer is that we will be using. Several years ago, we laid ceramic tile on our kitchen floor. We had plenty sealer left over so Stan is planning on using it on our countertops. <br /><br />I don't know if the same sealer is used on stone or not. One thing that is important to remember is that with ceramic tiles, sealer is usually only needed one time right after the tiles are installed. However, stone such as granite and marble require sealers at least once a year. I don't know about things such as limestone, soapstone, etc.<br /><br />When Stan gets home, I will ask him to find the sealer for me. I'll see if it says anything about stone tiles.<br /><br />VLE-BLynne Elder-Blauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223849297553903030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383927118352468318.post-58341082008388789042010-03-01T08:52:15.889-06:002010-03-01T08:52:15.889-06:00Lynn could you tell me the seal for this tile is o...Lynn could you tell me the seal for this tile is or brand. I'm putting stone tile on my kitchen counter top also but haven't done it yet cause of the sealing it and didn't know what to use. I already have the tile so didn't want to waste my money doing something wrong. I seen this stone in a house when we went to my aunts reunion last year in texas. but she didn't know what they sealed it with. I ask homedepot and the guy just told me that I didn't want to put it on my counters( like he knew what I wanted. also I know that they use the same stuff in showers. <br />CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
