Some time ago, I asked hdere how to remove damaged tiles from a showerstall. I finally found replacement tiles that sorta match. Following thedirections from the tile company and on the can of mastic sold by thetile company, the tiles are in place and drying.The instructions on the mastic can (Garland-White GW-2) say to use "drytile grout for grouting joints after the tiles are firmly set (at least24 hours)".That sounds like I can't use the mastic for grout. Right?I do have a dry-mix gypsum-based wallboard patch (DAP Webpatch 90). Iused it to fill the holes in the wallboard. Can I use that for grout?I also have a can or pre-mix stucco patch. Can I use that?

No you need tile grout. Many different colors and if its less than an 1/8" grout line unsanded.

Can I use tile adhesives grout?

I bought some grout and applied it this morning. It looks pretty good.

The sealer says to wait 2 weeks.

Thanks for all the help.
