Default grout for shower stall

Don't use the premixed stuff, pick up some grout that you mix with water

and
just follow the directions. I just did the same thing. It worked fine in
the shower. I probably let it dry for about 4 hours before letting it

get
wet. Vinegar is useful for getting the powdery stuff off the tile.


Premixed grout worked fine for my patch job. If this always happened with
premixed grout, no one would ever buy it. Something specific is wrong -

bad
batch or something?


Premixed grout is junk. It might be ok for some small repairs but NEVER use
it in wet areas and expect it to hold up. Traditional grouts are made with
portland cement and there is no way to premix portland grouts. It would get
hard...
