Stained Glass & Mosaics

2 different coloured grout

10 years ago

hi all, I am in the midst of grouting my project and this morning I applied white grout to a portion of it. When I lifted the tape off the parts I didn't want white, I noticed some grout leaked underneath. No problem, I took an exacto knife to it and scrapped it back and then vacuumed. My question is, when I apply the black next will it just run up to the white or leak over it? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks

it will to some extent, use a very dry mix and keep the white portions covered until after you have cleaned. I usually advise you work from darks to lights to keep the dust from staining

I just tape ever so carefully with blue painter's tape and press it down really well along the edges and don't have much of a problem.
