   you can add grout if you do it with-in 24 hours.

   Find a hard rubber float or a hard ruber squeegi and strike the joints diagonally. Don't wipe with a sponge. let the grout haze over. buff the tile with a dry cloth.

   Chances are. your grout joint will still come out concave...............as they should.

   Good luck

   Hello all,

   My wife noticed some things with our new tiled bathroom. Some of the joints where the floor meets the wall have small gaps with no grout. How can I get the grout into such a small gap. Should I use a caulk instead? Also noticed that some of the grout joints in the wall have some small voids. How can I get them smooth?

   Thanks in advance, Turtleboy

   No base boards......yet, but I'll have to see what the wife would like. How would I attach tile over tile like a using tile for the baseboard.

   You can either grout or caulk. Evidently this is a pretty small space we're talking about.

   Just work the grout into where you want it to be. You can have colored to match sanded or non-sanded Latex caulks. This is by far the easyest method.

   As far as using tile for base board... Put it up with wall mastic. Don't take a short cut by trying to grout the base with the caulk. You will not be happy. Do it the real way. Use the matching caulk on intersectionsand at the top of the tile where it meets the wall.
