This question comes up with tedious regularity. Which is best: a slurry or a gun-injected system? Personally, I don't think there is a definitive answer, as both delivery systems have their pros and cons. There's no doubt that the actual mortars used with whichever system are more than adequate and it's difficult to say that one particular mortar is better than any other. So, it comes down to the delivery system, and the most appropriate will be determined by a number of factors, not least of which is personal preference of the contractor.

While grouting isn’t difficult, it does require some practice to gain skill at applying it, and it’s admittedly a somewhat tedious task. Here are the basics you’ll need to know: Dampen your grouting sponge, and wipe away excess grout from the tile. Don’t dig or use too much pressure on the grout lines; you just want to remove excess grout from the tile. Rinse your sponge frequently in clean water so it doesn’t build up a coating of grout.

Grout—typically either a mixture of sand, water, cement, and color, or an epoxy base mixed with a hardener—is the filler used to seal the spaces between ceramic tiles on floors, counters, walls, or tub surrounds. Grout helps keep tiles in place but is not the same as mortar, the adhesive that actually glues tile to the underlying surface.

The key to keeping the mortar fluid and 'pumpable' lies in using the correct type and quantity of plasticisers. These along with other "secret ingredients" are what differentiates the really good gun injection mortars, such as Easipoint , from plain old sand and cement, and make the whole concept workable. Slurry or gun-injection? Grout sponges are intended for wiping off excess grout, so when it comes to size, choose a big sponge if you need to worry about cleaning up a large tiled area or opt for a small sponge to reach narrow nooks, crannies, and tight corners. When it comes to grouting tools, size is an important factor to keep in mind because if a grouting tool isn't the correct size it may lead to inefficiencies on big jobs or could prevent you from working in tight spaces.Pour or ladle a puddle of grout onto the tiled surface. It’s easiest to work across the surface from left to right. If grouting a tiled floor, start at the furthest corner of the room and work toward the doorway.
