3. GROUT
Grouting:
NO WAITING BETWEEN SETTING AND GROUTING IS REQUIRED. Leave tile spacers in
place and remove just prior to grouting. You may grout tiles immediately or up to
24 hours after setting. OPTIONAL - Caulk: For wet area applications, the use of caulk
in the bottom grout line may be preferred to applying grout.
Grout application:
Use grout oat to scoop the grout.
Press grout into spaces:
Use grout oat at 45 degree angle to the tile surface to rmly pack the grout into
the grout areas.
Excessive grout removal with oat:
Clean grout oat in water bucket and use at 45 degree angle to grout lines to squee-
gee excess grout from tile.
Tile cleaning with sponge:
After the grout has become rm and taking care not to rub grout out of the grout
areas, use slightly moistened sponge to wipe grout lm from surface of tile. Make
sure sponge is clean by rinsing sponge in water bucket; change water in bucket
often. Repeat. Be sure to follow grout manufacturer’s specic instructions.
Finish:
When grout is completely clean and dry, replace removed sinks, cooktops or other obstructions. Re-install removed
electrical covers (longer screws may often be required) and turn power on following all electrical codes and safety
procedures.
