Troubleshooting
Grout is cracking after drying.
Ensure the grout is applied evenly and the surface is properly prepared. Also, avoid excessive water during the cleaning phase.
Grout colour is uneven.
Ensure thorough mixing of the grout before application. Apply consistently and avoid applying in direct sunlight or drafty areas.
