All right, so let's get some grout on these tiles
So it's been a couple of days the adhesive has set
The tiles are fine to walk on
What we need to do now is remove all the T spaces or tile spaces, and because it's been quite hot and dry
These are porous tiles. I'm actually gonna give it a little wipe down with a damp sponge and it will help the
grout from drying too fast
with your tile grout some manufacturers say to mix it up,
get the right consistency then just set it aside for 5 minutes
This is a good chance for us to do our clean-up, and also wet the tiles down
Not super wet just damp
To just make sure that you've got no little bits of dirt or
grit or tile adhesive in your gaps there that are going to show through your grout
So these grout lines have a little bit of water in them now
not soaking wet
Just damp
it'll also help with the clean-ups later
hard to reach places like under a bench you can use your knife and
You can actually sort of push it into your areas around the corner. We may use that around the edges
Otherwise you will need a
Grout flat which is like a trowel, but it's made of rubber
And we'll start spreading this on
It's advisable just to work in smaller areas
Almost like just the areas that you can reach
When you're kneeling
without having to move
so, I'm just gonna lay some on to start with
and then the technique that we want to use is
Actually to force the grout into the tile gaps in a diagonal motion
So we're using a grey grout on this one
Really make sure that the grout is forced into the gaps between each tile push it in using that grout float
that trowel, and then using diagonal strokes
Sweep over the top of it and you'll end up with the grout sort of filled to the top of the tile
I've actually just used my finger.like around these door jambs where we've done to poke the grout in there
You're not supposed to touch this product. So you're not my finger falls off
grab a sponge
With water, squeeze it just so it's damp, then wipe off the excess grout from around the top of the tiles
And the bits off the wall if you're as rough as me
I'm going to change the water out with some fresh water in the bucket
When the grout starts to dry
you'll notice a bit of a haze on top of the tiles, and we can wipe that off later
This is just to get the majority of the grout off the tiles now
We've left this grout overnight it looks really good, Final step today is just to clean off that haze that's left on the tiles
Turn the sponge over and keep rinsing it out, and you may have to change the water
Depending on how much sort of grout haze is left on the tiles
I'm really happy with how these tiles have turned out. It looks good
Hopefully if you follow the steps in this video yours will turn out good as well
If this video has been helpful or informative give it a thumbs up. I'd appreciate that
Alright see you on the next one
