I am laying unglazed ceramic mosaic tile on my bathroom floor. Can I use the grout sealer to seal the tile?

Can I just roll it over the whole floor once the tile’s been laid? I think I would go crazy doing the individual grout lines (it’s a 1" hex-shaped tile) and the tiles need sealing as well, so can I use the same product and a paint roller to apply it to the whole floor? If so, any product recommendations?
Here’s the tile:

To clarify, I understand how to lay and grout the tile. I am asking about sealing the tile and grout lines once it’s down so it won’t get as dirty and will be easier to clean.

You could use a roller, but an old T- Shirt works better. Pour some out on the floor and use the shirt to move it around. Let it dry. Repeat. You’ll be good to go.

NO, not with roller. Use a broad scraper or self made plate of 12′ to 14′ to run over the groove lines with the grout. Hold for awhile and do the wiping cleaning up.
