The Lidl mastic gun (which at £3.99 is a steal all day long), comes with these tools. Thinking those thin nozzles might work? https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/MiddleofLidl.htm?articleId=19790 Expand @Nickfromwales, probably a huge no no to the experts but is there any merit it trying to use the gun in the link above to apply tile grout? It'd certainly force loads into the gaps but would it "ram" it in like you could with a proper rubber grout float? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 SWMBO helping with the grouting. Doing opposite ends so we don't kill each other! Wet room corner tomorrow and maybe around bath. I PTFE / CT1'd the shower hose connector into the wall. 20 turns of PTFE felt a bit too much tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
