„ Dampen joints of tiles but without standing water, after the tiles have set
overnight.
„ Apply the pasty grout to spaces between tiles (joints) diagonally using a sponge,
or small piece of soft cloth. Work the grout paste with enough pressure into the
joints and around the edges, filling them uniformly.
„ When the residue on tiles begins to forms a haze after (about 5 minutes), wipe a
wet sponge using same diagonal strokes to the grout applied joints until the grout
is flush with the 1 tiles surface.
„ Wash the sponge, wring out as much water as possible, then toll the filled joints
by lightly running the sponge along the tile grout lines or running the tip of gloved
finger or a rounder piece of wood along the grout filled tile joints to level it off with
the tiles.
„ Wipe any remaining dry residue with a clean soft and dry cloth in order to reveal
the tile surface with its true colour and texture.
„ Place protective barriers or covering to protect newly grouted areas. Open to foot
traffic only after at least 24 hours.
