FAQs
How long does the ink take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on humidity and application thickness. It is recommended to allow sufficient time for the ink to dry completely before exposing it to moisture or cleaning.
Can I use this on colored grout?
The product is designed to cover stained grout. While it can be applied to colored grout, the 'Winter Grey' color will likely cover or alter the original grout color. It's best for refreshing faded or stained grout.
What is the coverage per pen?
Each pen covers up to 60 meters of grout area.
Is this product suitable for outdoor tiles?
The product is water-resistant once dry, making it suitable for most indoor applications. For outdoor use, ensure the area is not constantly exposed to heavy rain or washing, as this could affect longevity.
How do I clean up mistakes?
Minor mistakes can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth immediately after application, before the ink dries. For dried mistakes, gentle scrubbing might be needed, or a second application of the product may be required.
Will this product prevent future mold?
Yes, the formula contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents designed to help prevent further molding and mildew buildup on the treated grout.
What is the shelf life of the grout pens?
Grout pens should be stored with the cap on tightly in a cool, dry place. For best results, use within the recommended timeframe, typically indicated by the manufacturer. If the ink seems dried out or has an unusual consistency, it may no longer be effective.
Troubleshooting
Pen not dispensing ink
Shake the pen vigorously. Press the nib repeatedly on a testing surface to re-activate the valve and allow ink flow. Ensure the nib is not blocked.
Ink flow is too heavy or dripping
Wipe excess ink from the nib. Apply lighter pressure when drawing the line. Refer to valve activation instructions for controlled flow.
Uneven coverage or streaking
Ensure grout is clean and dry before application. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely for a more uniform finish. Ensure consistent pressure.
Color doesn't match desired look
Test the color on an inconspicuous area first. Note that 'Winter Grey' is a specific shade. The product is best for covering stains rather than color matching an existing grout perfectly.
