Whats the best way to get this grout out from the batroom wall tiles,
1/8 joints and smaller in the other bathroom


Got a Dremel tool? They make a tip specifically for that purpose.
Check www.dremel.com to get the model number for the tip, so some
teenager at the store doesn't try and give you the wrong thing. You'll
also need a breather mask, safety goggles, and a 6-pack to complete
the job. Maybe earplugs, unless you're already deaf from years of loud
music.

oh boy that sounds like a fun job. better make it a case.

be sure to use sealer in the replacement grout. mix 1/2 sealer and 1/2
water when you mix the grout.

Right - just mix any sealer with water when mixing grout. And then see
what kind of mess you end up with.

Maybe first you should ask the grout and sealer manufacturers if they
think this is a good idea.

uh dude_anybody who has worked with grout for any period of time knows
this. it's not exactly a secret.

peace dude

Are you serious? Just mix ANY sealer with the grout?

Anyone else ever hear of this?

Bob

Ya know in retrospect that probably isn't the best advice. When I worked at
Color Tile, we told customers to mix the sealer with the grout but we knew
which products the customers were buying. When I retiled my bathroom the
tile manager at HomeDepot said he does (mix the sealer in) but HD instructs
them to tell the customers to follow the products instructions only. No
doubt due to lawsuits. If you contact the grout or sealer mfg I would
suspect they would tell you the same.

OTOH: I always mix the sealer in and the results are great. But I'm a brave
soul!
