        Hope to get some ideas on grouting small glass tiles around the tub on the tub deck. Unfortunately the spaces between the tub and wall are only about 2 to 3 inches wide. Can I use my fingers to get the grout in the spaces between the tiles? Hubby says too hard to do in that space! Thank you for any help or suggestions!

        Yup, fingers, small scrapers, cut up pieces of sponge. Sure, it's hard to do in the tight places but it can still be done.

        Yes, you can use your fingers to grout in tiny areas, but I think a trowel or a scraper is easier to handle. Use diagonal motions to grout even. Then, use a moist sponge to clean the excess grout.
