So funny I started watching it and then I paused it went and grabbed a fan and set it in my bathroom to speed up the dryer and I continue to watch it and it start it right where he says not to put a fan in there 😅. Thanks for the tips
Nice vid dude. You're an easy communicator to listen to. I didn't feel like I needed to pause and Google WTF you were talking about like some of these kinds of videos. Cheers for making it accessible
Great info, thanks. As far as reactions and rapid set vs not. I'd think of rapid as more brittle if it cures fast. It probably strong or stronger than regular. There are accelerators in those. The fan would be a accelerator for conventional setting stuff and that seems bad. I'm not in a hurry. A contract job, speed is the name of that game. Thanks for taking the time. I'd rather had slow and long lasting.
sir, I just did grouting on my tiles, however my tiles are super porous and after grouting I see lot of haze and tiles have become rough to walk on and doesn't feel good towel. Any suggestions on how to make tiles smooth and remove haze. Its been 4 days since the grout work is done.
If anybody is using a regular sponge make sure you don’t go no more then maybe a foot per wipe and don’t allow that same spot on the sponge to touch the floor again so with a sponge having 2 sides and 4 edges you can get 2 real good wipes and 4 smaller wipes before having to ring it out … my whole point here is you don’t want to smear the grout you want to pick the grout up and remove it off the top of the tile and If you just wipe and wipe it smears the grout and not picking it up… another tip to remove haze use an old piece of carpet…. if you don’t have this cool sponge and bucket
@winni - I have been without a shower for months - I don’t know why doing this terrorizes me 😅 anyways - I bought the premixed grout and I don’t have that special sponge bucket. Can you give me some advice on anything I’ll need to do differently. Thank you!!!
Rubi grout bucket is $40 at HD, includes a float as well as the sponge, so that's not a bad price. I already bought a float and sponge, though, so I think maybe I should just do it the old-fashioned way.
Mix the grout to spec. And wring out sponge good before each wiping so not leaving bunch of water residue behind. Change the water in bucket. Or, better, have another bucket of clean water to swap partially way through. Just use cool, room temp water. Not warm or hot. Softly wipe dry with towel, as does in video.
at min 2:08 he mentioned --> here, when u know when u're ready to start washing off ur grout --> 'once u're touching it, it's kind of dry to ur touch, its not sticking & at 2:19 'when i touch it & see, its sticking to ur finger, thats not ready to go'. so, which part sponge wont pick up the grouts in the joints? not sticking & sticking to ur finger??
The slower concrete takes to cure?... The stronger it is!!!!! Some concrete structures have water cooling pipes plumbed through them to slow the curing time! Don't hit self drying, chemical processes with a fan unless absolutely necessary!!!
Mix grout by hand, let's sit for a few minutes Remix by hand. Spread grout, first wash is to get the bulk, wait till it haze's up 10 to 20 minutes give it a second and final wash that you can fine-tune it. Let it Haze up and then buff it with a towel..... side note, do not wash more than twice you'll pull the color out
@@Mountain_bonker If you use a mop that is that is incorrect.All the mop does is swish around dirty grout water.If you use a mop , you are an amateur.... nothing great is easy
How you mix it and how long you leave it all depends on the grout you use. With MAPEI ultracolor plus or an epoxy grout you will ruin your tile following this advice. READ THE DIRECTIONS.
I just grouted last night, thanks for the tips. Wetting the tile before, is very helpful for less smearing and residue. Then hard high angle float scraping to remove the excess. I'm super happy with how well it came out. Oh and the amount needed to do any area is super small. 40 sq foot space that took 1/3 of a gallon of total product. I mixed up a whole gallon, about half a bag of the 25 lb stuff. The towel trick too, for final wiping. Most just go a 1000 times in a bucket with sponge. No way, the haze is way harder to finally remove.

The microfiber towels are a lifesaver. Work so well.
Love this. Short sweet and to the point. Not a lot of filler talk. Excellent

This is the best grouting video I've seen. I don't have a bucket like you but I think a regular sponge and bucket should work fine.
Great video and excellent tutorial, Thanks for sharing. Very clean work also!
Great video man deserves more views IMO
Great video and points that I will definitely use today. Thank you!😊
Great video
Great tiling!!!
Excellent advice. And really beautiful tiling.
That bucket is posh. Wow!
That makes absolute perfect sense.
I like the Rubi clips, although it wants to pull tile out, need to use sticky thin set for walls , Rubi sponge is also amazing
Awesome!! Love all the tips!! Thank you!
Great advice , good video. Thankyou
Great tips. Love your channel
than you so much for your time Sir. !!
Hey Winni,
Do you have a video where you go through the full process of waterproofing your bathroom from raw 2x4's to tiles?
Thanks for the videos!
Ya I got tons of haze on my dyi. Thank you, I still have more to grout so hopefully I be able to dod way better job!

I'm about to start this process in the first tile job I've ever done in my life from scratch😂
Great advice 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

Nice video. These are the things of never ask my inpatient dad for help with ✌️
Thank you!
@@WINNI.Designs please let me know how you would 1 charge to re grout a shower and caulk 2 what grout do you use for shower areas? Please and thanks
Where can buy the grout bucket?
thank you for the tip. Do you have any tips or trick to avoid the efflorescence in the grouts?

Softly wipe dry with towel, as does in video.
Great video. I wish I watched it before.
Usually takes me 3 wipe downs. Then take a dry towel for a final wipe.
Thanks homie
I have a question on the leveling plastic wedges. Can you do a video on it? Don't know which to buy for the tile I'm installing. Thank you so much!!
Dang wish I saw this before attempting DIY now I have a mess to clean up 😅
how come the sponge won't pick up the grout in the joints ?
at min 2:08 he mentioned --> here, when u know when u're ready to start washing off ur grout --> 'once u're touching it, it's kind of dry to ur touch, its not sticking & at 2:19 'when i touch it & see, its sticking to ur finger, thats not ready to go'. so, which part sponge wont pick up the grouts in the joints? not sticking & sticking to ur finger??
Love the new intro, but maybe make it just a touch quieter.
Didn't know that Pete Alonzo installs tile and grout in the offseason
The slower concrete takes to cure?... The stronger it is!!!!!

Don't hit self drying, chemical processes with a fan unless absolutely necessary!!!
Your 60 year old self will thank you if you use knee pads my friend, great video.

Its easier with a mop

@@Mountain_bonker Do not use a mop.

All good, but.... Come on brother, KNEEPADS!
Extend the life of your knees, use those $30-$50 kneepads!
Doesn’t work that way if you use rapid set grout
🤣 I have 20 years doing tile .. for me that’s nothing mew and innovate.. Old technique..
