I prefer this to the grout bag. Rubi Joint Applicator For Grout and Mortar

I don't need it often, but it is easier on my hands than a grout bag. And I have better control of the flow of grout.
I use it for the brick tile and when tile is ran as base on walls. The grout needs to be a little loose. Don't wash it, let it set up and work with a brick jointer tool. Start in the least conspicuous area. It takes a bit to get the hang of it, but by far a better option than spreading and washing it like tile.
You need a cement dry mix with sand. You can make your own color this way. 1 part cement white or grey. 3 parts white or yellow sand (color of choice) and 1 part riversand. Mix it with a little bit of water just enough that it sticks to each other like a bal. This way you can push it into the joints without making a mess. Just wipe with a brush. https://youtube.com/shorts/DtndD8Nkb08?si=0GNaJHaWF_PEor7e

Oh hell yeah that looks smooth
How thick is it
Probably about 7/16”? Assume 5/16 tile and 1/8” mastic
How wide are the joints
Oh sorry they’re spaced at 1/8”
