go bad? I mix up a little pot, let it sit for about ten minutes and
then apply it. The next week it can be dug out from between the tiles

I can't use a partial bag that is only 6-9 months old. Seems like it
takes on moisture and I live in the desert.

Did you follow the directions on the bag? I've seen directions to
mix, let sit and mix one more time before application.

softer. I guess I should just break down and go looking for some new
grout but this stuf is pink and probably hard to find. Also I can't
believe grout has an experation date but I guess it does. This stuff
has begun to clump and I have to sift it before mixing to get the lumps
out.

A bag of cement will harden over time.... Any good tile place will
have color sticks to let you pick a grout color. I put in some teal
green some time ago - yes the left over stiffened up and is disposed
of.
