How to Apply Astral Stain Free Epoxy Grout
- Surface Prep: Ensure the tile joints are clean, dry, and free of any dust or adhesive residue.

- Curing: Protect the area from water exposure for at least 7 days for maximum performance. Consult standard concrete curing guides for best practices.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this on porous natural stone tiles?
A: It is always recommended to seal natural stone tiles prior to applying epoxy grout, as the resin may stain the porous surface of the stone itself. Consult our grouting guide for specific tile types.
Q: How long do I have to clean the residue off the tiles?
A: Cleaning must be done immediately, usually within 20-30 minutes of application, as cured epoxy is extremely difficult to remove without chemicals.
Q: Does this product yellow over time?
