Why are the grout gaps on my mosaic so big?
That means a mosaic with wide grout gaps is particularly susceptible to looking duller when grouted. If you use small tile or small pieces of tile, then remember to use a correspondingly smaller grout gap.
What to do if you use the wrong color for grout?
There are two alternatives when you use the wrong color to grout your mosaic: Scraping the grout out with a grout removal tool or painting the grout with color as described above. The grout gap always looks wider once it has grout in it.
What happens if you use the wrong grout on marble?
Even worse, the dark grout had filled all the holes and dents in the marble and as a result my beautiful tile looked downright dirty. I was convinced that they used the wrong grout color, so our builder came over to have a look at it himself.
How big of a grout gap do I need for tile?
If you use small tile or small pieces of tile, then remember to use a correspondingly smaller grout gap. Sure, a 1/16 inch gap is standard, but if your tile is 3/8 inch, you probably want to use a smaller grout gap if you are rendering the details of an image instead of merely tiling a wall.
