Why do you want to avoid grout. Do you think you will save some money?
It will not be much.

Well I had to remove 4 tiles a few inches above the kitchen sink to get
at the pipes behind the faucet. Then I used thinset mortar to put them
back. So it's only 4 tiles and I think they pretty much stay dry all
the time. The reason I don't want to use grout is because it has those
glass particles that can injure your lungs and eyes. The thinset mortar
also has the same glass particles and it was an ordeal going through
the safety precautions to avoid hurting myself.


Are you taking a bag of the stuff dry and throwing it around the
kitchen? Or are you doing what any normal person would do, which is
mix up a pint of thinset or grout outside the house and then just use
it? Used in any reasonable fashion for a simple repair, this stuff is
perfectly safe.
