| Hi everyone, I have another question about the birdbath I used grout in. I would like to know if I need to seal the grout to keep it from crumbling when it holds water. I used sanded interior/exterior grout with the enhancer. Please let me know what you think and recommend so I can make sure its good for use. thanks!!! |

| there have been various questions about this and whether sealants actually poison the water for birds. in so far as needing it to make the piece water proof, thats not required since cementious products are naturally hydrophobic and grout is cementious. So no it won't rehydrate as long as it is properly cured before wetting. I hope that helps... |

| ok great!!! That does help some, Thanks !!! But now I guess I need to know how long is properly cured? Are we talking days or weeks? |
