Hi all, we put surrounded by ceramic tile concluding week (first time) and didn't run into any major problems. However I guess when we grouted, it was too gummy. Our grout lines are 3/8 or 1/4" thick (12" tiles) and the grout is incredibly rough. Can I take a drastically fine sand paper to smooth them out? I haven't hermetic them yet. Thanks!
yes you can sand them so they have a U shape between the tiles and the sealer will also aid to smooth it


just experiment somewhere first to make sure you dont damage the tiles.
Did you use sanded grout? because that wont gain as smooth as normal grout.
If your doing more it's easiest if you travel over with a sticky cloth a few hours after grouting if you want it really ultra smooth.
Answers:    I TILE every afternoon of my life, and NEVER slake. You used the proper grout, and if you used spacers they be probably 1/4.

I mix my grout,,,and mortar to the consistency of mashed potato, and beside no offense meant, it SHOULD be sand, at least up to 1/2 inch, and not strictly designed to be cup smooth, and NO YOU WILL NOt HAVE much success SANDING IT. (see below)

I also see SEALING grout as a excess of material and vitality, primarily because it will be a life long, chronic process.

Again, and with no offense intended, consider that you probably should have worked small areas at a time, not agitated the grout to excess, sponged it away beside the proper grout sponge, just below the top surface of the tile, and if you insist on seal, allow no less than a week, for cure time, first.

Then consider the reality that GROUT, much like the mortar, or Concrete poured for a driveway, is AGGRAGATE BASED, and rub your paw over a concrete driveway.

I so often, see so frequent answers that will likely NOT resolve issues, and for sure we are all entitled to our opinion, and this forum allows us to express them.

Once the grout sets/hardens/cures, FINE sandpaper would be a useless effort. I suppose it might be possible to use a clad grit GARNET paper, or a sweet grit wet/dry paper to attempt sand, but if the grout was installed properly, wipe away properly, even barefooted, you'd never have your foot torn up to bleeding.
