Sealing Natural Tiles

I am fitting granite tiles which need sealing to avoid staining. Do i paint the sealer over very face of the tile, just top face & edges, bottom face & edges or every face?

Floor Joist Reinforcement

I am installing a new jacuzzi and would like to reinforce the joists below it first. Is it the easiest way to install metal joist hangers and then slide in the new wooden joists. The floor is up at the moment. Thanks
