Ahhhhhh stratum tiles

[Bopster]

Well the bathroom I’m currently fitting my customer has supplied Stratum tiles for 1 wall only thank god. Unfortunately there is a second bathroom of the same spec.
I have done those poxy stratum once before and had a bit of grief with the grouting.
Any helpful tips? I’ve got 1.5-2mm grout lines to fill and I’ll be sealing the tiles before grouting and I’ll also have 2 buckets of water and new sponges.
Is it best to literally apply by finger to minimise the grout spreading onto the face?

I do have a pointing gun in my van actually although I doubt I have a small nozzle. I didn’t even consider that cheers

You can buy nozzles from the likes of Screwfix and cut to size

That should help. Funnily enough I’m starting another bathroom today in the same house that I did those same tiles.

In the end I had to leave the job and the customer had to finish cleaning them. I spent far too long on the damn things. She said that it took her weeks.

Does a pointing gun not affect the grout mix by squeezing the water out of the mix?

I just grouted as normal and when it had gone of went over them with a nail brush and grout film remover on the face of the tile, not the grout line itself.
