Tumbled Marble Backsplash in the kitchen

Hello Maurizio, I have purchased tumbled marble for the backsplash. I want to install this myself. I have a couple of questions, I was sold the Flextile 200 for the adhesive is this sufficient for the backsplash? Also, should I grout before sealing? or seal then grout? Please advise... Ellen
 
Dear Ellen:
Flextile 200 is fine.
You install, grout and then - after at least a couple of weeks to allow for proper curing - you apply the impregnator.
Considering that you probably have large gout lines, one week of curing period should probably do.
 

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?   :-)

Ciao and good luck,

Maurizio Bertoli
