GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS
Material Provided:
Part No. Description Qty.
117213-01 Bag, Cement 9 pounds
117215-01 Bag, Sand 9 pounds
Materials Required:
(Available at a home improvement or masonry
store)
• Piping (grout) bag
• Joints striker
• Heavy duty mixing bucket
• Trowel
1. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, pour in
seven (7) cups water then add 4.5 lbs
(half of one bag provided) of sand and
4.5 lbs of cement. Mix together well using
power drill with mixing wand attachmnet.
2. The overall length of piping bag should be
about 16''. If bag is longer than 16'' do not
ll piping bag all the way. This will make
the bag easier to handle. Put 2 to 3 cups
of grout mixture into piping bag making
sure smaller opening is downward and
over a moist towel to avoid spilling. Place
a wet towel over bucket making sure it
is directly on surface of grout mixture.
This will keep mixture moist and not dry
out before use.
3. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge
or spray bottle just prior to application.
when bricks are wet, any excess grout
mixture that might have gotten onto the
brick will easily wipe off.
4. Begin grouting by rst doing a ''ller pass''.
This is done by lling the joint about
about 3/4 full with the grout mixture. It
is important to to work with 6 bricks at
a time so that the grout doesn't set up
before striking.
5. Next complete ''nish pass'' around 6
bricks with ller pass. This is done by
slowly lling in remainder of joint with a
thick amount of grout mixture. Mixture
should be a little higher than brick surface.

6. Using a trowel, remove excess grout
mixture by moving trowel in the direction
of the joint. Grout mixture in joint should
now be ush with brick surface.
7. Using a joint striker, force grout mixture
into joint an sweep back and forth until
grout is smooth and round. If grout
becomes too shallow add more grout
mixture with piping bag and strike again.
8. Continue procedure around each group
of 6 bricks until an entire panel is nished.
9. Using trowel, scrape in direction of joints
to remove any grout that may have colected around bricks during striking. If
desired, take a moist sponge and lightly
sweep over bricks to remove any grout
that may have gotten on the bricks. DO
NOT PRESS HARD OR RUB IN A CIRCULAR MOTION. This will press grout
into brick and turn brick a different color.
