- Let me show you how I applied a German Schmear to my brick fireplace using tile grout. This was my first time trying this. It was actually easier than I was expecting. See how it turned out. See the before and after. Be warned - If you do a good job you'll be doing this for your friends!

That came out beautiful! Wish I’d watched you before I did mine!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
I've been looking at different techniques to do this and I think I like this one the best. I loved the final result.
This is a great technique and the results are stunning on my fireplace. It totally transformed my old, painted fireplace, cost me about $60 in supplies at Lowe’s. The grout bag was really heavy, so I filled it about half way. I bought 2 grout bags and I used both because the bag got really messy and I didn’t want to take the time to wash it out. I used a large, metal putty knife to scrape the grout. I did not use a sponge to smooth, I liked the look of just scraping the grout. After the grout had partially dried on each section, I brushed off the excess with a damp sponge. This is definitely a 2 person job, so get someone to help if you want to finish a large fireplace in one day. I recruited my sister to help and it took us about 4 hours to schmear my fireplace.
Great tutorial! Super easy to follow. Love the reveal to your wife at the end!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Glad you enjoyed the video.
You stated the very reason I’ve been hesitating! When I heard that, I knew I’d found the right video! Thank you! You want shallow grout lines, I actually have to fill mine in.
So glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck on your project! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Love the look. I am going to give it a try! Great instructions on your video.
Good luck. Be sure to practice on a section that is the least visible. Thanks for watching.
That actually came out really nice.. Very easy instructions👍👍
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Thanks Butch
I really love it!
Definitely following this technique!
Would love to know how it turned out and how easy it was! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Nice work!
What made you not use mortar?
Mostly because my mortar joints are so shallow. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Makes sense! I’m doing this on fresh newly installed thin bricks for a backsplash
Americans actually seem to like the sloppy messy looking brickwork and even call it “ the farmhouse look “ or even the “ grunge look “ ( hilarious) I personally Do NOT but if someone actually wanted to Pay Me to Slop Up their brickwork I would probably try to just use White Portland and mason sand ( the white masons sand) and splash it up that way Why use Grout? Way more expensive and not really compatible with brick like mortar is. I need to find out what German Shmearing actually is first though probably a specific mix?
I don't understand at all. It looked like a great fireplace before and now it's a smeared mess?!?
No disrespect Butch, but it wasn't the best looking fireplace before, it looks even worse now
