Tiles look great All....Thanks for the help!
I've got a problem and wan to know if it can be solved without the use of acid. In spots the grout is spread just wider than the spces...I guess it's just tedius scraping??
Any ideas of what to use as to not damage the tile.
Also...I've mopped the darn thing 3 imes with tile cleaner from Home Depot and there is still a considerable haze.
I guess I should have been cleaning the water every couple spongefulls when originally grouting (cleaning).
Any suggestions??

Hi again, Derwood.
You've progressed quite a bit. The wide spots I think you should leave alone and live with. The film (since you've already tried the tile cleaner) will come off with a mild acid called "sulfamic." Get this at a tile supplier, and not at Home Depot. Please.
Follow the directions, and I think everything will be fine.

C'mon, you can't sell off your tools now. Your relatives and neighbors have projects they've been thinking about. They've only been waiting for someone like you to gain the expertise.
Er, what kind of saw is it?
