Grout, I used Sanded grout I got at Lowes.
Get a pair of gloves, that stuff is rough on hands. Ask me how I know but I have a terrible time wearing gloves. It is not hard to do, just messy, I do my outside in shade...

Don't worry about it Pegi. We enjoy hearing from you on all of them.
Sheila be sure to get the grout with sand, that what I got. You can get all colors at Lowes. i got the smaller bag and that rascal was heavy too!!!
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.
