While the TAVY tile spacers may go in easily, they practically pop out with a sweep of the hand, ready for the next job.

With the cement dry, now it's time for grout. Armen mixes his on the stiff side and uses a rubber float with plenty of pressure to force the mixture all the way down to the bottom of the joints. |
Then, holding the float on an angle, he moves diagonally across the face of the tile, removing as much of the excess as possible.
|
A " rough wash" rinses off the surface of the tile and lubricates the joint a little bit.
A second wash will clean the surface of the tile and the grout joint, smoothing it as you go. It's possible you may need to do a third wash. |
As soon as this dries, use a soft dry cloth to buff the tile clean, like polishing your car after you wax it.

From old linoleum to shiny new tile... you're all finished with a minimum of mess and no demo work! |
