the grout isnt too wet for that floor. the air bubbles will appear no matter how thick you make the grout. plus i find it quicker to take care of the air bubbles while i wash, i keep a blob of grout by my side and fill them in, then wash and perfect the joint as i go. that way i dont waste time filling in holes as i grout, just to find out that as i wash, theres more.

ive grouted well over 1000 in a day (alone) using this method, and i never have to go back to repair grout other than to caulk.

too much grout on floor at one time not a good idea for anyboby? to much to wash at the one tima would be difficult for a novice, and a smaller area would be adviseable so you would have more time to clean the grout of tiles;

The grout a little too wet? On a tile floor that has dried (adhesive) maybe, but only for the ease of sponging since this slightly wetter grout is better filling. And, so many tilers, so many views.

For a tile floor directly laid into sand/cement (and grouted the same day) this would be perfectly wet.

Thanks Bruce! Big thank you also to the person who gave me a thumbs down because I mentioned I wanted to do a few intensive courses to get the basics. Well done you.
