How to install glass mosaic tile backsplash, Part 3 grouting the tile

that's the edge then I polished okay so I mix them  grout here just an unsanded grout then you want   to mix it a little bit stiffer than also close oh  that's too soft leave a lot of air bubbles this is   one there's a lot of lines so the way you do this  is you use a float and like flat on and you fill   the lines going over as me many times over the  same route line that way you make sure that yeah   filling the grout lines doesn't go work two times  you just go over once you probably gotten way some   air bubbles and this stuff uses a lot of rough  you want to put a lot on there just fill it in so just go like this or two times once  a confident all the wives of felt you're   going to put you up float on a shop angle and  then just clear it off like that get off like   that leave it pretty clean you'll just want to do  that the hallway this is any mistake spots it's   cold again once you've got it routed and you let  sit for a final few minutes usually by the time   you get to bed get to that in this friend will  be ready to wash so you get a sponge moving it   out bring the water out as much as possible and  then you're just gonna go over the whole thing select it wash it off okay so let's see got a pretty clean going to get your sponge and just going to pull  in one direction just once one way don't go back   and forth that's going to get it pretty  clean you see why it's obviously got foam and then you don't want to back up forth when  you do the final rinse because what happens is   you pull it off home way and you put it back  the other way so you just want I'm going one   direction okay this this house didn't specify  whether we needed sand it or on sin but the   grout lines are narrow enough that I can use  on sandwich but sometimes you have to use on   sand it because if you use standard route  it will scratch the tile so because I don't   know whether it's gone special towel or not and  just played it safe and amusing and then sand it reasonably the switch plates on is because I've  gotten one too many electrical shock so I always   put them back just to make it get the shot  good basically using water near electricity okay okay so I crowded the whole thing over  here over here and I I let it dry a little   bit you know you don't know if you can see  it with this like he's on here I'm going to   wipe that down with a rag now and Nona qualcare  eating just a dress dry rag just laugh it off and that's it it's done just need some [ __ ] so  that's what I'm going to let's just going to do   a little more play and then clock and that's it  okay time to coat this is a color matching clock that's it hold on coughed and this  is a color matching crop when this   cloth dries it'll be the same color at the  ground they're over there corner sit down
