Question 2

My landlord just re grouted the grout lines on our kitchen countertop which has porcelain tiles. Our place is very old, and he used a white TEC Color Matched Sanded Caulk Grout. It has cured but is a little rough because of the sand in it. He said he is not doing anything else to it, but will pay for inexpensive material(s) for us to do our self if there is something to smooth/seal it. Would grout sealer work? We have kids and really need to get this fixed. View answer

Hi, I'm staining my concrete floors in my basement. I have fixed some small cracks w something called quick Crete. Then sanded them down, next I will stain.

Question 33

Hi - I created a new birdbath out of concrete that has imprints of leaves on the inside. I want to seal the birdbath including the inside that will hold the water. Is there a sealer that I can use that will be non-toxic to birds? I understand that the PH will be high on fresh concrete and that there are products that can reduce the PH of the concrete before sealing it. Will that be necessary before using the sealer? Although the birdbath is large (~ 2 x 2.5 ft.) I believe that I don't need a full gallon of the product. Can I get it in smaller sizes? Thanks, Steve View answer

Question 35

I have an interior cement basement wall in a rec room that is starting to crumble in places because moisture is coming through. I used drylock 15 years ago and it worked great for years, but boy did it stink! It looks like I need to repeat the process now on a small area of the wall. What less awful product can I use to seal it this time? (It was painted over with Ben Moore latex paint so it does have paint on it) Or could I use drylock and then seal that in, but with what? Thanks in advance! View answer

I have a wash and pack room on my small organic farm. The floor is concrete and needs to be sealed.

The exterior wall of our basement has been leaking for a few years when it rains. Black mold is appearing. This is not a dripping situation inside our basement but just a damp one.
