1. Surface Preparation

11

Before grouting or mixing materials, take a moment to inspect the

surface area of the tiled floors, walls or ceilings.

All tiles should be secure and in place, especially in the corners.

Remove any excess thin-set on tile surfaces and edges before

grouting. For best results surfaces should be free of dirt and grease

before grouting. Wipe all surfaces with damp sponge to remove

any loose dust, dirt and debris.

12 12

Surface Temperature

The recommended minimum temperatures for any portland cement grout is + 40°

degrees F and should not drop below 4° C for more than 24 to 36 hours. The

recommended upper working temperatures are

100° F - 38 °C for Pro Color and 85°F - 29°C for AquaTight Plus.

 >40F – 4C

 <100F – 38C

2. Mixing

14

Mixing Sanded Grout

Before mixing, make sure you have all the necessary tools and clean water. Mixing

sanded grout is easy. Simply pour the entire 72 oz. bottle of Stain Resistant Additive

into bottom of a five gallon bucket. Add the entire bag of any brand portland cement

grout into bucket slowly while stirring with a margin trowel. After the grout is

thoroughly wetted, a machine mixer can then be employed to finish mixing. Mixing

speed should be less than 300 rpm to avoid whipping air into the grout. Whipping air

into grout will cause grout to weaken and high speeds should be avoided. Small

amounts of tap water (1-2 oz.) may be added to achieve the desired consistency.

15

Mixing Unsanded Grout

Before mixing, make sure you have all the necessary tools and clean water. For

unsanded grout you will need a measuring cup (available at any hardware store).

Mixing unsanded grout is easy. Simply measure out and pour 48 oz. of Stain Resistant

Additive into the bottom of a five gallon bucket. Add the 10 lb bag of AquaTight or

AquaTight Plus grout into bucket slowly while stirring with a margin trowel. After the

grout is thoroughly wetted, a machine mixer can then be employed to finish mixing.

Mixing speed should be less than 300 rpm to avoid whipping air into the grout.

Whipping air into grout will cause grout to weaken and high speeds should be avoided.

Small amounts of tap water (1-2 oz.) may be added to achieve the desired consistency.

16

Slaking Sanded and Unsanded Grout

Slaking is recommended prior to installation or floating grout. A period of 10 minutes

for sanded and 5 minutes for unsanded is required for proper wetting out.

Slaking Sanded and Unsanded Grout

Allowing for proper slake times will ensure proper consistency and workability of the

grout. Do not add any additional tap water or additive after slaking. When properly

mixed, grout should have a creamy peanut butter-like consistency.

Installation

19 19

Installation of Sanded and Unsanded Grout

Using a rubber float or margin trowel scoop out sufficient grout to cover the

immediate work area. Push grout along with the edge of the float and into the grout

lines. The float should be held diagonal to the grout lines in order to avoid catching on

the tile edges. When all grout lines have been filled, use the

margin trowel to scoop up any excess grout and place in the

bucket. Removing excess grout will make clean up easier.

Once the grout has been installed be sure to clean up tools

with clean water tap water.
