Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on shower floor tiles?

Yes, but ensure the grout is completely clean and fully cured before exposing it to heavy water flow.

Is this product permanent?

It is designed to be a long-lasting, water-resistant solution, though it may eventually require re-application over several years depending on traffic and cleaning habits.

Will this work on colored grout?

It is intended primarily for refreshing grout; it may alter the shade of colored grout, so testing is mandatory.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is fast-drying, typically setting within minutes, though we recommend waiting several hours before heavy cleaning.

Does it work on silicone caulk?

No, this product is specifically formulated for porous grout and will not bond to non-porous silicone sealants.

Troubleshooting

The ink is not flowing after shaking.

Continue to press the chisel tip against a hard surface repeatedly until the ink saturates the tip.

The ink is smearing on the tile surface.

Wipe away excess ink immediately with a damp cloth and ensure you are using a lighter touch to keep the ink contained within the grout line.

The color does not match the existing grout.

Always perform a patch test in an unseen corner first; if the color is significantly different, ensure the grout is not sealed with a heavy-duty wax or oil-based product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to use for quick, precise touch-ups
  • No mess or clean-up required
  • Resistant to water and fading
  • Free from xylene and toluene
  • Versatile chisel tip for different joint sizes

Cons

  • Not compatible with silicone sealant
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • May not cover extreme mold staining without prior cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, always test the pen on a small, inconspicuous area to verify the color match and ensure the grout material accepts the ink correctly. The marker is designed for standard cement-based grout. Do not use the pen on silicone-based sealants around sinks or bathtubs, as the ink will not adhere and will likely smear. After use, ensure the cap is replaced tightly to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the pen in a cool, dry place horizontally to maintain optimal ink flow for future touch-ups.
