How to Apply Fusion Pro Grout
- Prepare the tile joints completely before mixing grout. Ensure joints are clean, uniformly sized, and square down full depth.
- Use typical mixing methods for Fusion Pro by adding water little by little to reach a smooth, lump-free masonry grout consistency. Don’t make too runny or soup-like.
- Fully pack joints using a rubber grout float or squeegee, ensuring no gaps, voids or cracks remain unfilled. Hold the float at a 45 degree angle to avoid pulling out grout.
- Once sections are fully packed, go back and smooth grout uniformly across tile faces to compact tightly. Remove any high spots or uneven lines.
- Allow grout to firm up partially for 30-60 minutes after smoothing. Then use a damp sponge in a light circular motion to start clearing off remaining surface haze/film from tile faces without digging into joints.
- After initial cleaning, wait at least 60 minutes before any additional sponging, rinsing or wiping. Avoid excess moisture exposure on fresh grout lines for 72 hours.
Following product guidelines, allow full 7 day cure before intensive washing or commercial use. Ensure proper subsurface drying before applying any sealers if desired.
