How to Re-Grout Tile: Part 2
Today we’re going to be re-grouting the tile around the window in the bathtub. Once your grout has set out for about five to eight minutes, you get yourself a grout trowel, which is just spongy so you can apply the grout. And you just scoop some out on the trowel and put it on the tile and you just want to smooth it out with a towel. Make sure you get - you’ll be able to tell where you have not gotten. Make sure that you cover all of the old grout. Wipe off the excess grout - just put it back into your container and reuse it. Make sure you get as much of as you can. And if you get it on something, don’t worry about it too much, it will come off; you might have to scrape a little bit. but, about like that. And you’re going to let this sit up and dry. It’s best to wait at least like five hours before you wipe off the film that is left on the tile itself.
