I posted over on Charleen's "T" on BB's instead of here. Will I ever get this computing down right. Hilarious!

Any way, I'm off to painting my BB before doing my gluing.

Don't worry about it Pegi. We enjoy hearing from you on all of them.

Char, was there a particular reason why you got the grout with sand?
I've never used that kind and was just wondering.

Mine do fine without the sand. In fact I never knew there was a kind that contained sand.
I never did anything to cure it either, just let it air dry, so I don't know.

Cement I do protect to cure, also any kind of hand or wheel built pottery, but never thought to do it with grout. It sets up and dries pretty quickly as thin as it is on tile projects. So I don't know a thing about the sand.
