Do you have any tips on grouting this tile to avoid filling the cavities in the surface?

I used a "spatula" from Kobalt. It has a foam-like bottom and worked very well. There is a number on it: 0242673. Only do a small area at a time then wipe excess with damp cloth. If I got some grout in the hole, I took a toothpick and got it out. It is a beautiful backsplash. Be sure to seal the scabos before and after putting on wall.

I am sorry but we paid a tile guy to put it up..it looks fantastic but I can't answer the question.

No, you really can't avoid it, but you do wash the grout off with a sponge before it dries hard so you can get most of it and the stuff that remains just blends in with the stone. It wasn't really a problem.

I took a left over piece and tried it for you. It seems to work and look okay. My tiles have a good amount of grout inbetween them and it still looked okay.

Grout is difficult for the shark to get to. It does great on the tile but if you want it to really cleat grout you may want to look at a different item.

Hmmm--probably depends on how much space is empty between your tile and the sub-floor. I used two big tubes (maybe more, it's been a while) on an area that was just 5 ft x 5 ft. But there was a lot of space to fill. When I squirted the Fix-a-Floor into the holes I drilled, a lot of the stuff went in before it filled the space. I had to order more for another space that I haven't fixed yet (yes! I procrastinate!). I guess I'd order a tube or two and see how far you get, then order more once you get a better idea.

I put it on with an old grout sponge or just soak a terrycloth washcloth and apply to the tile the grout all of it and let it pool on the floor, or run into the grout lines on wall tile until it has soaked it, i let it dry a bit and buff it off the tile with a dry terry cloth towel and even have used a buffer on it.

I have to agree with TonyD except I put mine closer to the inside of center, guess it's really up to you and the shape of the tub. Silicone caulk works the best but can be bit messy/greasy to clean up, the key I found is to not to try and wash it off but instead get an old towel and wipe the excess off your hands and fingers after you beaded the seams or use latex gloves which are cheap and handy to have around anyways. Other than that it was an easy install and they work like a charm now.

It would be hard to apply if the grout is not smooth. It would if the grout that's cracked is not too deep.

I just used a paintbrush and went around the perimeter. Your hand may get a little wet depending on the water level. I did it from above but it likely could be even easier from in the pool. The few places that I got some on the tile it easily wiped off.

Would try with that v shaped o cedar grout brush Might have to let sit reapply . Wait for grout to dry to assess

Hi, unfortunately does not, I've simply sealed all three sides with silikone, after tiling ,I'll use actylic siliconized grout between tiles and top surface of the tub, BTW - tub looks great :) and don't be surprised that you need to make a "tub bed" under it, is not as simple as placing it on level surface as you somethimes do with whirlpool tubs ...... I've "hung" my Duravit on all three sides on 2x4's and have build front skirt , Kris

I have very small (one inch) grouted tiles in my back bathroom and it works well on those, but they are very shallow grooves. The steam itself will only loosen surface dirt, and maybe lift some of the deeper stuff. If you have old mildew darkened grout, I'd suggest a foaming mildew cleaner, and bleach or a bleach like spray. Steam cleanings main advantages are a hot greasy dirt cutter, and a no chemical germ killer.

Yes, I have porcelain tile and it did a good job cleaning the floor and didn't hurt the grout in any way.

Grout needs to be sprayed good and as the machine reheats use stiff bristle brush on grout. I went back a few days later and steamed again. Looks great! I'm very happy.

The tiles on my table are all set evenly and seem well grouted so far (I've had it at least 5 months). It looks like whatever type of grout you would normally use on tile (for example, if it was a tiled kitchen wall). I have not had any breaks or cracks so far but I have tried to be careful because I am concerned that it wouldn't take much force to cause one (the tiles seem a little thin but you wouldn't want them a lot thicker anyway because that would add to the weight of the table).

Not this. Just use a tile and grout cleaner and those Magic eraser sponges are awesome. Don't use simple green cleaner because it colors the grout!

I suppose you could afro-enginuity a fix by using a length of allthread and washer and nut, BUT it would be a waste of time and a exersice in futility. anyway the coiled wire is wider than the grout line and you would scar the tile. If yu truly want to attempt this it this type way get a cheap rototool and the wire wheel that is available.

No. It is incredibly porous. There is no amount of sealing that could change that. The texture of the tile makes it nearly impossible to clean. Also, the way the tile is situated on the mesh combined with the texture/varying depths of the tile makes it incredibly difficult to grout, which is problematic. I wouldn't recommend this tile in a food prep space because it can't be cleaned - it will harbor bacteria and other debris. If use this in a shower, you will probably end up with a mold issue or other water damage. This tile would be best suited as an accent tile on a mantle, backsplash for basement bar, etc. No. It is incredibly porous. There is no amount of sealing that could change that.
