Preparing Grout for Stained Glass Mosaics

Video Transcript

"Well, I've finished the mosaic. I waited twenty four hours for it to dry fully before grouting. We're down in our grouting studio, this is a place I don't mind getting messy and it's something to think about, cause grouting can be quite messy. I also changed into a shirt I don't really care about, just in case grout gets on me, which does happen. I've chosen a nice soft yellow, it's called "Summer Wheat" for our project today. You want to make sure when you're working with dry grout to always wear a mask to protect yourself from any particles that may come up into your lungs. And, also you're going to wear gloves, to protect your hands. So, what you'll do is, you'll mix some dry grout. Today we're going to mix about this much with water. You're going to slowly add the water and mix it together until you get something about the consistency of peanut butter. Please add the water slowly because if you add too much water, you'll have to add more grout and you might end up making way too much, and wasting some grout. So, I'm going to show you how to do that now. Perfect!"
