Silva Hayes (author) from Spicewood, Texas on April 29, 2012: I'm using thinset for the adhesive so it should be waterproof. I'll have a look and see if I can find those sealing products in the UK. Thanks very much for your quick reply and advice. Lesley-Davies from Kingston upon Hull on April 29, 2012: Is grout fairly inexpensive where you live? It is here. I am going to say that if it's small, like a volley ball, 1 kg is probably enough but if it's one of those large beach balls, you might need 2 kg. I am going to say that 1 kg bag would be enough but I'm not sure what size a beach ball is. I would replace the tiles as needed, and then I would re-grout the entire item. I would carefully check the ones that are still on, and if they are secure and tightly adhered to the lamp, I would not take them all off. Silva Hayes (author) from Spicewood, Texas on March 03, 2013: I also found another which is more expensive but the postage is nearly as much as the grout on which do you think is ok? I have found a unibond black wall tile grout triple protection on - do you think this would be ok? It doesn't say if it is sanded or not. I have ordered the adhesive and sealant as you have suggested in your hub but am struggling to know whether the general tile grout in diy stores is appropriate. When you are certain that the grout won’t be disturbed, you can firmly polish the mosaic with a wet washcloth, wrung out well. Allow the grout to firm up (about 30 minutes) and then carefully wipe the haze off the tesserae.Throw the water away outside and refill your bucket with fresh water until your sponges are completely rinsed out. Wash your sponges out thoroughly when you are through with this process. Continue to wipe with a damp sponge rinse your sponges in a bucket of water between each use.At this point, you can pat the grout with a sponge or your finger, and you can smooth a problem area with a wet makeup brush. Your goal is to remove the grout from the surface of the tesserae, but you do not want to dish out the grout lines you want them to remain smooth and level with the edges of the tesserae. After removing the excess, gently pass over the mosaic with a damp sponge (not a dripping wet sponge).At first, use your gloved fingers and then a dry paper towel. Wait a moment or two, and then gently begin to remove the grout from the tesserae.

No muss, no fuss! How to Remove the Excess Grout and Clean Up Squeeze the grout out as if you were decorating a cake.
MOSAIC ART ZIP
Add the dry grout first, then water, then squish it around to mix up, and when you like the consistency, zip the baggie closed and cut a small hole in a bottom corner.
I recently tried this method, and it works! For small applications, such as a picture frame, mix your grout in a sandwich bag. I grout outdoors when possible, but when I do grout indoors, I go outside to dump the water that I dip my sponges in. Note: Never wash any grout down your drains.
