There are a few special people who actually love to grout. I don’t get it and I am not one of them. I don’t like the mess. I find it tedious. It’s like an obligation, something you have to do but you don’t want to do. In fact, I dread it and delay it until I have no choice but to put on the gloves and do it.
But I have to admit, grout always delivers. I love the unity it creates, the cohesiveness, the finished look. I love that it can be any color you want. I love that it masks your “mistakes” and I love that, as the final step in your work, it always comes through as your trusty assistant, once again reassuring you that you can actually produce legitimately good art. That’s the ultimate pay off.
