    Painting Redwood tongue and groove boards

    Aluminium primer. Make sure you stir well as the solids settle at the bottom. Undercoat. Top coat. That's the belt and braces way. You can use products like Zinsser BIN to prime or Zinsser BIN aqua but aluminium primer is a sure thing IMO

    Grout sealer

    I don't know. We have tiles with gray grout and it's been down 20 years and no problems. Gets mopped once a week. Even the white grout in our bathroom is fine so I don't know why some people need a sealer and others don't. If you feel you need one then go for it.
