How to Use Rapide Grout Powder 500g

Materials Needed

• Rapide Grout Powder 500g
• Water
• Mixing container
• Grout float or rubber spatula
• Sponge
• Clean cloth
• Protective gloves

Preparation

1. Ensure the tiles are properly installed and spaced before applying grout.
2. Clean the tile surfaces and joints to remove any dust or debris.
3. Wear protective gloves to avoid skin contact with the grout powder.

Mixing the Grout

1. Pour the desired amount of Rapide Grout Powder into a mixing container.
2. Gradually add water to the powder, mixing continuously until a smooth, paste-like consistency is achieved.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
4. Stir the grout mixture again before use.

Applying the Grout

1. Using a grout float or rubber spatula, apply the grout mixture diagonally across the tile joints.
2. Press firmly to ensure the grout fills the joints completely.
3. Remove excess grout from the tile surfaces by holding the float at a 45-degree angle and scraping diagonally across the tiles.

Cleaning and Finishing

1. Allow the grout to set for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Using a damp sponge, gently wipe the tile surfaces to remove grout haze, being careful not to disturb the grout in the joints.
3. Rinse the sponge frequently and change the water as needed.
4. Once the grout has cured (usually after 24 hours), buff the tiles with a clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining haze.

Aftercare

• Avoid exposing the grout to water for at least 24-48 hours after application.
• Seal the grout after it has fully cured to protect it from stains and moisture.
