Crackle Glaze Protector

Forms a clear colourless barrier. Helps protect porous tiles from penetration by water, dirt, oil, grease, limescale and other commonly found household contaminants. For use on crackle glaze tiles and grout joints. Maintain with LTP Stonewash.

For application or cleaning tools see our Tools Section.
Ensure that the tile surface is clean and dry. Any tiles that are to be wet cut should be protected with at least one coat of sealer. Once the tiles have been fixed and before grouting apply at least one coat of sealer with a sponge or soft cloth and then buff immediately into the surface using an LTP Buffing Cloth Blue. This should be done until all excess is removed. Leave for a minimum of two hours before grouting with normal grouts. If coloured or pigmented grouts are used: Apply at least a further three coats and do not buff off excess. Allow 2 hours between each coat. Grout in the joints and remove excess immediately using a sponge and water. Leave grout to harden (approx 2 hours). Use LTP Grout Stain Remover and LTP Black Course Pad to de-bond remaining grout residue and
sealer. Wipe of remaining residue with LTP Buffing Cloth Blue.
N.B. Due to variations in crackle glaze tiles-always test the
product first to ascertain the correct number of coats to
be applied.
Optional: Once dry (min 24hrs) apply a further coat of sealer to the surface also covering the joints. After 48 hours the surface can be cleaned as normal. Use LTP blue buffing cloth to remove any excess from non-absorbent surfaces.
Drying Time: Approximately 30 – 40 minutes. Becomes fully effective after approximately 48 hours. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe vapours.
