Step 5: Grouting

I used the three part epoxy grout. Its supposed to be a little flexible, highly stain resistant and works well with really thin grout lines.

I butted all my granite together because there were beveled edges. I didnt want 1/4" grout lines on the countertops.

Using regular granite tile, without beveled edges, I would do a 1/16" grout line.

Press the grout into the grooves and spread it with the grout float. Pull across holding the float at a 45 degree angle and then push it back down into the grooves. You dont want a crack later, so make sure all grooves are filled. Keep a damp cloth on hand to wipe up some stubborn bits. Use a damp sponge to get rid of grout residue on the tiles but make sure you arent wiping up the grout in the lines
