Seriously! I grabbed the wrong bag and used self-leveler instead of grout!! I know, I've said every possible thing to myself that you are already thinking! I don't know what to do now though! It's for a polished rock shower floor. I don't know if I should apply a thin layer of grout over top and seal it, chip it all out and start over (please say no), don't put any grout over it and seal it as is... someone please tell me what will happen if I leave the self leveling in. Will it crumble? Can I seal it like I would grout? Advice asap!

Is it for your own house or customers, I would say a multi tool and grout removal blade and check you have the grout bag in your hand and grout the tiles.

if you wet it quickly before it's fully hardens it may soften up and be scrapable

How wide is your grout line? If a mil or two, get a Stanley knife down there as soon as possible and get it out before it fully sets... Obviously that's if you feel it needs to be removed
