Question 1

what are the directions for use on marble?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question Quicksand!Unlike Granite, Marble can be readily etched when it comes in contact with Acids. Tuff Duck is Neutral to Slightly Basic and will not etch Marble. The application instructions for Marble do not differ for Granite or Slate etc.. The difference will be the degree of porosity (or how porous) the stone is. A more porous stone will absorb more sealer than a non-porous stone. In general, marble is more porous than Granite. The directions for marble are as follows:1) Ensure a clean and dry surface, 2) Apply sealer liberally and allow to penetrate for 15 minutes (ensure the surface stays wet during this soaking period, more sealer may need to be applied during this time depending on the porosity of the stone) 3) After 15 minutes wipe up the residual sealer with a clean dry cloth.4) If any sealer was unintentionally allowed to dry on the surface leaving streaks, simply use Tuff Duck sealer on a cloth to re-wet/dissolve the streaks and dry with a cloth.The surface can come in contact with water after 6 hrs of cure time and will be fully cured in 24hrs.Thanks, I hope this helps.

Question 2

Hello.  is this a penetrating stone sealer?

Accepted Answer

Hi there Lucy , yes Tuff Duck is indeed a penetrating sealer versus other sealers which would be called film-forming. Tuff Duck penetrates into the stone sealing the pores and the chemistry ensures a very high level of hydrophobicicity, or the ability to repel liquids ... You can see this by dripping water onto the sealed surface .. The water will bead on A surface sealed with Tuff Duck. Also Tuff Duck will not alter the natural look or Finish of the natural stone!  -thanks for your question !

Question 3

I already have silicone (clear) applied around the perimeter of the shower floor.  will this sealer break down or discolor the clear silicone?  thx

Accepted Answer

I have clear silicone around my shower and it did not discolor or breakdown.

Question 4

Do you have to wait a certain amount of time before sealing a newly installed marble floor?

Accepted Answer

All you need to do is make sure the grout is fully cured.. Normally 8-10 hrs should be sufficient .. The grout lines should look fully dry. Thanks for your question!
