big gaps inbetween tiles.

[maneira]

Is there anybody out there who has tips for grouting an area of tiles that has gaps of 12-15mm... I have a MAPEI grout and it's coloured...
should I prepare anything first?? how much should I mix at any one time??
cheers

Are you saying the grout joints are 12-15mm wide? If so do you mean none of the joints are equally wide or that they are all equal and that is the approximate width?

Are they wall or floor tile? What are they made from - porcelain, stone, ceramic, glass?

Make sure its a wide joint grout, anything else will shrink and crack

you can get plastic tools for grouting if your a bit cack handed with a grout trowel
no worries I would need one nowadays as my hands have a shake to them now ..lol..lol..lol
my old favs were , a piece of copper 15mm/22mm bent over ,the concaved edge was ideal for jobs an left no lines
