When to use a finishing tool on grout?

[Qwerty]

Yes. Never ever used a tool. I ensure all joints fully filled at the grouting stage. This combined with attention to detail when wiping down guarantees compacted, even and smooth joints. Yes, even with metros!

Never used one either...
I feel a poll coming on...
John might be a billy no mates..

Come on Andy - might need a poll to see how many 'tilers' their are on here!

Always have the old drumstick to hand, had it since Keith Moon threw it at me for driving his roller into a swimming pool!! Perfect joints every time!

Mine was previously owned by Pete Best!
