Baird,

I am afraid that the color enhancer may not work well because of rejection
from the impregnator that you already applied so you better test it.

Subject: [sccpartners] Darker Grout Lines?

Hi Everyone,
I have a client who recently had about 3000 sf of tile installed in his
house. Apparently they think that the grout is not dark enough for their
tastes (hydroment flash walnut) .  I inspected the floor and removed any
white efflourescent residue.  I then color enhanced a small strip of grout
with some impregnating sealer that they had around (I did not have a a
proper color enhancer on hand) and unfortunately it dried without darkening
the grout (although looked great when wet).  My plan was to go back and try
a solvent based color enhancer ( I have an old can of MB-? color enhancer).
But, was wondering if anyone has a good line on a decent color enhancing
product?  Would some dark concrete dye help if mixed with the enhancer?  It
would be great to find something that doesn't dry out too quickly or creates
a more or less permanent color enhancement/darkening.  Have thought about
color sealing with grout perfect color seal, but am concerned about the
color seal migrating beyon
 d the
grout line and wear and chipping down the line. It would seem to me that
color enhancer would be easier to apply and to touch up later.
Thanks so much.
