FAQs

How long does the ink take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on humidity and application thickness, but typically the ink is dry to the touch within 10-15 minutes and fully cured within a few hours.

Can I use this on very old, crumbly grout?

While it will cover the appearance of old grout, it is not designed to repair or strengthen physically damaged or crumbly grout. For best results, ensure grout is sound.

How many grout lines can one pen cover?

One pen can cover approximately 60 meters of 2mm wide tile grout.

Is the brown color a dark or light brown?

The 'Brown' color is a versatile shade suitable for complementing various tile colors, particularly warmer tones or natural stone finishes. It is designed to look like traditional brown grout.

Can I change my grout color from white to brown with this pen?

Yes, this pen can be used to change the color of light grout lines to brown. For very dark grout, multiple coats might be needed, or it may not fully cover the original color.

Is this product safe to use around pets and children?

Yes, the formula is water-based, non-toxic, and safe for use in enclosed areas like homes with pets and children.

What should I do if I make a mistake?

If you make a mistake, wipe the excess ink off the tile surface immediately with a damp cloth. If ink has dried on tiles, a mild cleaner may help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not dispensing ink

Shake the pen vigorously and press the nib firmly on a hard surface multiple times to reactivate the ink flow. Ensure the cap is removed and the valve is properly engaged.

Uneven ink application or streaking

Ensure the grout surface is clean and dry before application. Apply steady, even pressure. If streaking occurs, allow the first coat to dry and apply a second coat.

Ink bleeds onto tile surface

Wipe away excess ink from the tile surface immediately with a damp cloth before it dries. Be precise when applying directly to the grout line.

Pen nib feels dry

Re-wet the nib with a slightly damp cloth and press it down on a hard surface to reactivate the ink flow.
