Sealant Recommendations
by: Anonymous

Linda,

Agreed.... Miracle Sealants (511 Impregnator) are good products. We have used and recommended this line as well.

MB-4 Impregnator is another good one.

sealant recommendations for tumbled marble
by: Linda Paul

Hi
As a backsplash mural artist I like 511 Impregnator. It's easy to apply does a great job even over other sealers.

Grout Sealant
by: Ryan

Vay,

I generally recommend Stone Tech Pro, but any sealer may slightly darken the color of the marble.

You should test the sealer on some extra/left over tiles and see what you think, but it's really a "must do," so you'll have to accept some possible change in color.

But don't worry, once the sealer is applied over the entire backsplash the difference in color will be so minimal that it will still match your countertop, etc. and won't change the "look" of your design.

After a few days you'll even wonder if it really darkened at all.

Just be sure to closely follow the directions, especially about removing excess sealant BEFORE it dries.
