I used Weber grey grout and Weber grey Silicon. I used a profiling tool to tool the Silicon. I then noticed that the grout would not dry on the horizontal grout line within the shower. Obviously I have smeared a thin layer of Silicon across the grout and it has gone a bit shiny!

I don't know if this will dry out, but it has messed up my job and i'm not happy. I've been paid, but have told the customer that if its like that tomorrow I will come back and sort it out.

I did not want to muck around with the Silicon whilst it was still wet.

Has this happened to anyone?
 
Give it time that'll dry out id guess but if needs be tomorrow take a Stanley to it and show it who's boss.
 
it happened to me once
much acetic Silicon. the grout absorbs (anointed Silicon) for me Do not dry.
I prefer neutral Silicon, to avoid problems.
I hope you solve the problem😉
 
Could you mask round and cotton bud a smear of gel / silicon remover over this and wipe away, as Julian , will this have blead slightly into the grout, hopefully will lift with the blade
