DIY First Time Trying Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA Grout – PRODUCT REVIEW - Grouting Shower Tile

DIY Shower Grout with Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA: I grouted the mudroom shower tile with Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA Grout in the color Timberwolf. I was a little apprehensive to use this grout because it got mixed reviews online. Some reviews said that it was difficult to work with and not good for DIYers or beginners. I am NOT a professional. I am a DIYer with very little experience with grout. This is the fourth time that I have grouted tile. With this project, I used a 3:1 (by volume) mixing ratio as suggested by the spec sheet for this particular grout. I mixed according to the package directions. Once applied to the tile, this grout dried REALLY fast. The tile I have is ceramic tile, and apparently this grout dries faster with ceramic tile compared to porcelain or stone. The grout was set and dry in 3-5 minutes, so at that time, I sponged it off with water, twice. In the beginning, I made the mistake of not wiping the tile down with a dry rag immediately after sponging it off. Once I figured out this step, things went very smoothly and the grout looked great. I will definitely use this grout again in the future.
