hi all i have to grout a large wall area of marble tiles.
is there a tool i can use to put grout into the joints without all the mess?
evo stik do a easy grout product which is used in a tube like no nails.
there as to be a way of simply filling a tube with grout then injecting it deep into the joint with no mess?
regards colin

Hi Colin

just use a grout float but work cleanly, all the gimmicks have been tried and tested and dont work well. The float will push the grout deep into the joint how it should be.

Have you sealed the marble ?

Both before and after, what sealer do you have?

cool, just follow the instructions regarding bubbles and surface residue.

you'll be best giving your marble a wash down with some diluted LTP Grimex and then rinse it off prior to sealing, (obviously you'll have to wait until your marble is completely dry before sealing) Which sealer did you get? LTP MPG?
Oh and as Diamond said, all the gimmicky gadgets for grouting have been tried before with little success!

Washboy is all you need.
