Need non toxic sealant for stone tile.

[sjcksnmnusa]

Does anyone know of a non-toxic sealer for stone tile. I am putting stone tile in the new viv and need a sealant the can be used inside and does not off-gas. Both my new beardie and I need chem-free sealer. Don't have a garage and can't work outside for at least 6-8 weeks. The tile is unglazed and I'm worried about dust and absorption issues.

If your worried about dust, soak it and clean it before you install it. If your worried about absorption, I would leave the tile loose so you can just pull the tile out and soak it, clean it and put it back. I don't know that I would seal it. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I opted not to seal. I think I have seen folks on here recommend something called Mod Podge as a good sealant for this purpose. I got thru body porcelain tile, which is spec'ed to be impervious to water - something like less than .05% absorption... so I plan on just keeping it clean and sterilyzing it monthly. I really don't like to use chemicals unless absolutely necessary. Granted some of this stuff is OK once cured- it's still nasty on the user, and the environment, both coming and going.

I think I may just leave it natural for now. I was planning to dry lay it anyway. I remember using modge podge once and it is really stinky. If I seal it with that, it will have to wait until spring. My daughter thought natural beeswax might work. I can get it at our co-op and it is probably organic and unprocessed. Any thoughts on that material?
