What happens here
After the grout has been applied and allowed to set slightly (until it reaches a 'sandy' consistency, not too wet or too dry), use a paint stick to smooth and shape the grout lines. Keep the paint stick squared up to create clean, uniform joints, similar to brickwork. Then, use a stiff hand brush (like a broom head) to remove any loose debris or excess mortar from the stone faces and further clean the grout lines. This ensures a professional and aesthetically pleasing finish. Pay attention to detailed advice on grout consistency and avoiding smears on the stone surface.
Goal: Achieve clean, smooth, and professional-looking grout joints.
