Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on silicone sealant?

No, this product is specifically designed for hard grout lines and will not adhere to or work on silicone sealants.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is water-resistant once it has been allowed to dry completely, making it suitable for bathroom and kitchen environments.

How long should I wait before exposing the grout to water?

You should allow the coating to dry completely, ideally for several hours, before letting water contact the treated area.

Does it contain toxic solvents?

No, the SolaDirect Grout Marker is formulated to be xylene and toluene free.

What is the tip size?

The pen features a 4mm chisel tip, which provides a balance between control and coverage for most standard grout widths.

Troubleshooting

Ink is not flowing to the tip

Ensure you have shaken the pen well and primed it by pressing the nib repeatedly on a clean surface until the ink saturates the tip.

Ink is smearing or wiping off

The grout surface may still be damp or have residue like soap scum. Clean and dry the surface more thoroughly before reapplying.

Color does not look right

Perform a test on an inconspicuous area first; if the color does not match your existing grout, wipe it off immediately before it dries.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to use with no specialized tools required
  • Excellent for restoring stained grout lines
  • Low odor and free from xylene and toluene
  • Provides a crisp, clean aesthetic update

Cons

  • Not compatible with silicone sealants
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for optimal results
  • Not intended for structural repair of crumbling grout

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Clean the grout lines thoroughly to remove soap scum, mildew, and grime. The surface must be bone-dry before application.

Application: Shake the pen vigorously with the cap on. Remove the cap and press the tip onto a piece of scrap paper or a paper towel to prime the flow of ink. Apply smoothly along the grout line.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Do not use on silicone caulk or flexible sealants as the ink will not bond properly.
  • Allow the ink to dry completely (at least several hours) before getting the area wet.
  • Recap the pen tightly after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  • Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
