Remove excess glitter grout from tile surfaceThe idea of having clean white grout lines is appealing, but against some mosaic tiles, it can appear harsh and draw attention away from your design. It is important to consider how white grout will appear alongside your tiles, as with lighter tiles, it may accentuate their design, but others may appear washed out. Alternatively, darker coloured grout can help to add definition to a mosaic design, and with darker tiles, it can create a more unified look. For best results, the whole tub of Mapei Kerapoxy Design Grout should be mixed at the time of usage. Part mixing is possible, however you would need to weigh out the materials and the required dosage using calibrated digital scales, to make sure the proportions of product used are correct. When it comes to how to make glitter grout for tiles, you also need to think about how much glitter you add to the grout mixture. This is obviously a personal preference, but just keep in mind that a small bag of glitter grout additive can go a long way. We’d suggest adding a little bit at a time rather than bunging the whole bag in, as once it’s been added you can’t take it away. Tips for applying glitter grout
