Title: Sealing encaustic floor tiles with Aquamix Products
Post by: Graeme Smith on September 27, 2013, 01:37:52 pm

Can you seal an encaustic floor tile with AM enrich and seal and put AM low sheen over the top? Would the enrich and seal stop the low sheen from adhering to the surface of the tile. I was playing around with low sheen this morning on an encaustic tile and the 1st coat (of low sheen) seems to sink into the tile as its porous and then as the coats build up it develops a sheen. In a few places I could do with darkening a tile or two and then put a sheen on the surface but I'll not bother if its going to reject it.

If you asked Aqua Mix they would say no!  However that said apply the Aqua Mix Enrich N Seal in the normal way and then 24/36 hours later go over the whole area with your Rocky fitted with a white pad and some Aqua Mix CTC in the tank and then vacuum.  Allow to dry and now you can apply the Aqua Mix S&FLS in the normal way!
