"Okay, now let's begin grouting our project. You just take, on the pallet knife a big glob of the grout and just press it right on like you're frosting a cake. Now you want to get into all the crevices and on the sides like this. All the way around. Bring it right up close to the cookie cutter and squeeze your grout into all the cracks and crevices. All the way down. Now coloring the grout yourself with paint is nice if you, like on this project, we're going to be painting the back and we want it to match the color of the grout. So it's nice for that. You can buy pre-colored grout but you don't get the advantage of having a quick match of the paint. It's a little bit of a messy project. Just push all that grout right in, all the way around until you've coated the whole hand. Okay, you just keep spreading the grout on like this. To do the fingers you'll need to get your pallet spreader inside and really push the grout in on the sides and all around. Push it down, get in between the fingers of the hand, and kind of spread it like frosting up in between the fingers. Make sure you get in all the cracks and crevices around this marble here. There's a lot of spaces and you want to make sure that the grout is pushed into all those little spaces."
