Granite, Grout and Marble Sealer 1 Quart Stone Tile

Prompt delivery from seller and not damaged.** Back story **I purchased a house where the previous owner installed granite counters in the bathroom. Not certain I would have done that but hey it's there so I'll deal with it. The issue is when my 8year old plays submarine commander she slops water every where. Over the last year I've noticed that even after I cleaned the counter it seemed that water soaked through and was still noticeable hours after. Was only to a friend told me that I needed to seal it to prevent issues.** Process - Day 1 **I removed all objects and cleaned the counter. After letting it dry I put on rubber gloves poured the Tuff Duck directly to the counter. Since it was in a pool I evenly moved it around with my gloved hand to ensure all areas were covered. According to the directions you can't let it dry but also allow it to sit 10/15mins so it was a challenge to eyeball the amount that didn't seem wasteful. After letting it soak for 10mins I cleaned up the puddles and let it fully dry overnight.** Check up - Day 2 **After letting 15hrs go by I let my daughter play. I figured it was a good way to see what didn't work. There was some areas where the water say on top and others where it soaked in like before. I cleaned up and let it dry. It seemed like areas around the faucet handles I seemed to have missed.** Reapply - Day 3 **I followed the same process as Day 1.** Check up - Day 4 **Did the same process as day 2, my daughter is starting to really love the sink play time. Difference is that the counter actually beads water on top. Even after water sitting for 15mins it just sit like it was plastic or glass. My wife also noted that the counter looked new, out of the box.Not certain how long it will stay this way, the MFG claims it will need to be resealed after a year or so. If something goes horribly wrong I'll update, but so far I do enjoy this. I'm assuming it would work great in bathroom tile grout or in a kitchen counter. Good stuff.

This is amazing. We just moved into a brand new house and I am going to be sealing every inch of grout! I have this wood-look tile in the dining room with pretty light grout and I do NOT wanting it turning black over time. Bought this based on the reviews. I also bought some condiment bottles to dispense this just over the grout line and the application was so easy. I put on plenty and made sure it stayed wet for 10 minutes, then I wiped the excess off with a paper towel. Then I went back and did a second coat right after. We went to do an errand and when I came back I tested a spot, photo included. When wet this grout looks the same color as the tiles (first photo), when dry it is white. You can see in the photo how well it beads up! I am amazed. Thank goodness for this product! I will say that I think it brightened our grout just a bit; I mean it seems a little more whiter than before. That’s fine with me but may affect someone else’s grout color. It went on clear as water but I did find a spot or two on the tile that didn’t get wiped up completely and then dried and it was a milky white. Thank you so much, Tuff Duck!

(January 2016) Update, I've dropped my rating from 5 to 4 stars: It has now been a few months since Tuff Duck was first applied on our granite kitchen countertops. A 3rd application was done around the sink after about a month (we initial discovered 1 was not enough, so a 2nd application was done the first week)...and now I am debating doing it again, a 4th application, a couple months later since the granite still darkens around the faucet when splashed...not sure if this is a reflection of Tuff Duck or advertisement NOT to buy New Caledonia stone for areas that get wet. The areas of the counter that very rarely get spilled on still make liquids bead up for the first 10 minutes before soaking in if they aren't cleaned up, but it seems like areas that repeatedly get wet don't bead-up any more...as if the sealant is water soluble after it dries, so it does its job less and less each time it gets wet???Still definitely better than it was when the installers left.(October 2015) So far, so good; I applied Tuff Duck on our new granite kitchen countertops about a week ago...I prefer reading reviews that are months or even a year after the customer uses the product for the 1st time to see how it has stood up against the test of time, but our plan is to move and get out of here, shortly. I'll update the review if there are any changes before we move.The stone we purchased is called New Caledonia, and must be super porous (we opted for the lowest price level granite, since selling). Not sure if the fabricator applied absolutely no professional sealer (they were hundreds $ less than Home Depot), or if since it was new stone their coat of whatever wasn't sufficient, but when water splashed on the stone you immediately knew it, since the water was quickly absorbed making the stone significantly darker, instantly.After 1 application of Tuff Duck we definitely noticed a difference, BUT, right around the faucet where water accidentally splashes almost every time we use it I could still see the stone darkening (I hate the gooseneck faucet that was installed which promotes splashing, but that is another issue). Therefore, I applied a 2nd round of Tuff Duck just around the sink. Instead of just letting it stay "wet" for the duration of application, I practically had a puddle sitting on the counter in the area right around the faucet and rubbed it around with my fingers (not a sponge or rag, which would have aborbed the liquid).Since then, I find myself wondering if I'm not splashing anymore, since the stone no longer darkens, or if Tuff Duck is doing its job! Since it is hard to tell if water is on the counter due to the lighting/glare I've leaned over a couple times, eye level to the counter, and sure enough, there are beads of water just sitting on top instead of seeping into the stone!I hate spending money, but I definitely think this was worth the price (although I would have happily paid less :). Price did seem comparable to a product I saw at my local Home Depot, but quite frankly I thought the name, Tuff Duck, sounded like more fun to try (and the Amazon reviews were higher)...and I am glad I did. I can't compare it to the product I didn't try, but I'm happy with my choice since I am plenty satisfied with the results--100x better than whatever I saw the installers spray on the counters, which didn't seem to seal at all.

We’re remodeling our main bathroom and we were able to put in a real marble tile floor and I wanted to get a sealer that I could feel confident in and all the reviews really gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling. using it myself I can verify that they were absolutey accurate (the good ones at least) before I put on the second coat it was already starting to bead up on the surface of the tile. I am confident it will last at least a year if not the 3 to 5 that it says it will. I did not let it dry, I kept it wet during the 15 minutes it says on the package and it was awesome results! My bathroom is 55 ft.² and I have just enough left after 2 coats to do the vanity top👍👍
