Yesterday I mixed up my first batch of grout, but as I mixed it, I realized it looked wrong. There were little hairlike fibers in it, and then I realized I'd bought the wrong type of cement. I was able to use it to fill some gaps in the wall, but it won't be usable for the mosaic. A shame too - not sure what I'll do with this stuff. Taking a $3.00 five pound bag of cement back to Lowe's doesn't seem worth it to me. Too heavy. Maybe I'll put it up for free on Craigs List. People on Craigs List go nuts for free stuff.
Now I've got to find a place that sells the right cement. Isaiah suggests a certain brand and type - Portland type 1 white cement. He's been doing this for 40 years, so I think I'll trust the man.
