Removing excess grout
Angela wrote:
If grout is already dry but has not been sealed yet, what is the best way to remove (scrape off?) it from the adjusted to the edge area of the travertine tile? I only know of two ways to remove grout: 1. scrape 2. acid Travertine is a form of calcium carbonate and acid would eat it as well as the grout. Calcium carbonate is also very soft and can easily be scratched/damaged by scraping with steel. I don't know what you mean by "adjusted to the edge area of the travertine tile" but I'd try a wooden scraper. Hard wood. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Sorry for confusion, here is what happened: while applying some fresh grout over a seam (to fix a wrong colored stretch) it was pasted over the adjoining tiles. Would using even fine sandpaper lead to the surface damage as well? |
