"So, we've done a wet wash. We've allowed it to dry again just like the first time, completely dry on the surface of all the glass. And, then you'll do your dry wash. Which is just take a rag. This is an old pair of sweatpants I no longer like. And, you'll wipe it. Just wipe all the excess grout off of the top of the glass. If your grout isn't dry enough, you'll smear grout from the grout joints over the top of the glass and you can just do another dry wash again in a few minutes. But, this looks lovely. And, there you are your finished mosaic. Also, please note with the excess water and grout please don't pour that down the drain. Because, what it will do is clog your drains. So, allow the water to sit for a little while so the grout can settle at the bottom. You can then pour the top layer of water down usually an outside drain. But, if not at least an industrial drain. And, then whatever grout has dried at the bottom you can just scoop out and throw away. Please reference the instructions on your box of grout for proper disposal. Clean all your tools and your surface area and you're done with a beautiful new mosaic. Congratulations!"
