Troubleshooting
Grout is cracking after drying.
Ensure the surface is stable. Consider using a flexible grout if the substrate has movement. Make sure the grout is not applied too thickly, and allow proper curing time.
Grout color is inconsistent.
Ensure proper mixing and use the same amount of water for each batch. Avoid working in direct sunlight, and make sure the surface absorbs the same amount of water across all the tiles.
Grout is difficult to clean off the tiles.
Clean the tiles shortly after applying the grout, before it hardens, using a damp sponge. Avoid letting the grout set for too long.
