"It's important to achieve the correct consistency when applying grout to tiles, as if the grout is too thick or too thin, it can be difficult to spread."
"If your mixture is too thick, you can add small amounts of water or add more dry mixture if it's too watery. The correct consistency for grout should be smooth and spreadable."
"Grouting too soon before the adhesive has dried can cause the tiles to shift and move around. Furthermore, this has the potential to become a hazard as tiles may become dislodged and even fall off"
Proper grout mixing, waiting until adhesive fully cures, and applying grout with patience prevent aesthetic issues and water ingress. Grout must be mixed to a smooth, spreadable consistency using the correct water ratio; adjust thickness by adding small water amounts or more dry mix as needed. Use a paddle mixer for uniform texture and follow manufacturer's instructions. Never grout before tile adhesive has dried because trapped moisture can cause tiles to shift, dislodge, or allow water penetration. Taking time at each step reduces the risk of failure and costly repairs.
