In the course of doing a basement remodel for a long-time customer, I got talked into setting marble floor tiles (12X12). I would like to apply sealer to the tiles before grouting, to minimize clean-up. Is this prudent, or might the sealer compromise the adhesion of the grout in the joints (1/8 inch)? Tlle setters, please comment. Thanks.

Greetings mrgood,
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones attention that can help you with advice.
Cheers

If the marble is polished, no need to seal. You said 1/8" joints so I assume that is the case.
Tumbled marble does need to be sealed however. I would install it and apply grout release (not sealer) with a short nap roller.
