    Hello! I have been in the tile business 40 years. It looks like you are putting very wet, un-sanded grout in a joint whose width requires sanded grout. It will work for a while, but it will eventually crack and start coming out. We never use that 'bottle' method (basically a grout bag) to grout joints unless the joints are at least 3/4" wide. We use quality grout floats on joints 1/16" to 3/4". We can grout & clean about 80-100 sq ft of 12"x12" tile per hour. That method would take all day, but would be fine for a small repair. I still think the grout should be forced into the joint by a grout float to insure the grout is pushed into gaps underneath the edges/corners of the tile.

    You can also add the add mix milk for mortar to make the grout super sticky then go over the whole floor. Have done it with little tiles in commercial bathrooms a bunch of times. Trying to get the old grout out just causes little chips everywhere. Had to learn this trick out of necessity.

    I did a 4x8' mosaic (using broken ceramic tiles) concrete slab outside my casita door (I live in AZ, a casita is what we call little mother-in-law houses), and discovered the use of a grout bag that I bought at Home Depot. They're pretty cheap. It was still a little messy, but it still was better than trying to get the grout in all those grout spaces. I used the PRISM, which a company rep told me to use for spaces up to 1/2" and for outside here. Some grout spaces were a little wider and in those places I added 1/4 or 1/2" glass nuggets, like I use in my stained glass to fill in the space. Worked great, the mosaic'd slab looks great, and adds some class to an otherwise drab space.

    There is an even EASIER way to do that.... which I did in our new bathrooms when we ran a baseboard using the floor tile, which went up the wall. I just got out one of my large disposable pastry piping bags, filled it with the mixed grout... twist tied the top, snipped off a tiny bit from the bottom of the bag and "piped" it into the gap just as I would with cake icing! Worked with a lot less mess than with the bottle shown as you can adjust the pressure. This would work with a gallon zip bag as well and snip the corner!

    Next time, use a funnel to pour grout powder into the plastic bottle!, that's what I have used in the past, great job, mate !

      What grout to use

      @@tiffanybest895 not sure about the grout used in the video, but if the tile space is very thin, you would use an unsanded grout, and mix it to the consistency of cake batter. For tile with a wider space between them, use a sanded grout mix, same consistency as cake batter, I just wanted to comment on using a funnel to pour the grout into the bottle to cut down on the messy way the video shows, ( you can also use a thick plastic bag to apply grout to the tile joints, use like a pastry bag, cut the corner of the bag, and slowly squeeze the grout into the joints!
