Collapsible Step-by-Step Guides

Step 1 – Prepare Your Workspace

Cover surfaces and gather tools (gloves, palette knife, multiple small containers, sponge, water bucket)

Kit Note: Digital kits provide video links and guidance; physical kits include multiple grout samples and spatula(s)

Step 2 – Mix Grouts Separately

Follow ratio instructions for each colour

Use small containers to prevent cross-contamination

Mini-Story: “Think of each grout as a different paint colour—you don’t want them accidentally mixing before the masterpiece begins.”

Step 3 – Apply Grouts in Sections

Decide which sections will use which colour before starting

Use palette knife to press grout firmly into tesserae gaps

Apply each colour carefully, leaving a small buffer zone to avoid bleeding

Visual: Step-by-step images showing coloured grout applied to separate sections

Step 4 – Blend or Transition Colours (Optional)

For gradient effects, gently feather edges with a damp sponge

Avoid over-mixing; subtle transitions are more professional-looking

Kit Note: For physical kits, pre-marked areas may help guide colour placement

Visual: Side-by-side comparison of blended vs. harsh lines

Step 5 – Clean, Buff, and Seal

Wait until grout is leather-hard, then wipe excess gently with sponge

Buff with soft cloth for shine

Seal mosaics to protect both tesserae and grout colour integrity

Kit Note: Store leftover grout properly for future use
