This versatile grout is suitable for joints up to 3mm wide and can be applied in various settings including kitchens, bathrooms, and shower areas. It is designed for both internal and external use, providing a robust finish. To prepare, ensure the tile adhesive is fully dry and remove any tile spacers. Mix approximately 2 parts grout powder to 1 part cold water until a smooth paste is formed, allowing it to stand for 10 minutes before re-stirring. Each 500g pack covers approximately 2 square metres, depending on tile gap size. Apply by pushing the grout into the joints using a float, then remove excess with a damp cloth or sponge. Once slightly hardened, use a grout shaper for a clean, professional finish and leave to harden overnight before polishing. Ensure surfaces are protected from water and frost until completely dry. Store the product in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting
Grout is too runny
You likely added too much water. Add a small amount of extra powder and stir until the desired paste consistency is achieved.
Grout is cracking after drying
This may be caused by too much water in the mix or exposure to extreme temperatures/drafts during the curing process. Ensure a stable environment while it hardens.
Grout is difficult to remove from tile surface
The grout has likely set too long on the tile. Use a damp sponge to soften the residue, but be careful not to scrub the wet joints.
