How Do You Use A Grout Bag To Grout Ceramic Tile?
Grout is a kind of cement that sits between tiles to bridge the gaps. It’s normally applied with a grout float (a rubber trowel), spread over the whole tile surface and then wiped down with a sponge so that only the grout in the spaces remains. If the tile face will be difficult to sponge off because it has a flat or matte finish or is textured, then another option is a grout bag. It looks like a pastry bag and delivers the grout cleanly to just the lines, without getting it all over the face of the tile. Mix the grout in a bucket with water, adding the water and stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon until the grout reaches the consistency of thick mud. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Re-stir. Scoop the grout out of the bucket with the spoon and fill the grout bag. Set the tip of the grout bag into one of the grout lines, starting at one corner of the tiled area (at the top, if it’s a wall). Squeeze the grout bag while pulling the tip backward along the line, putting in enough grout that
