Detailed Video Instructions on Grouting Tile in a Custom Ceramic Tile Shower

In this video, Mark Donovan of
HomeAdditionPlus shows how to grout tile in a custom ceramic tiled shower.
It is important to make sure that
any excess thinset mortar has been removed from in-between the ceramic tiles
prior to grouting the tile. Use a screwdriver to help in this process.
Only mix up enough grout that can
be applied in a 30 minute time period. Otherwise the grout may begin to set
up too much prior to applying it to the tile.

In addition, it is important to wipe down grouted tile surfaces after 15 to 30
minutes. Use a damp sponge to wipe down grouted tiles.
Wipe the ceramic tile down with a damp sponge 2 to 3 additional times every 30
minutes or so until the tile shines. Make sure to use a clean bucket of water
and to rinse the sponge after every 2 to 3 strokes.
When grouting tile make sure to use a grout float. Sweep the grout float over
the ceramic tile at a 45o angle to
the tile seams. This will help to work the grout into the tile seams.
