Which tool is used to force grout into the joints of the tile?

• A. Cement grout
• B. Latex grout
• C. Furan resin grout
• D. Rubber surface trowel

Answer: (D)

To push grout into the joints and fill them completely, you use a tool with a dense rubber pad—the grout float, often called a rubber surface trowel. Its flat, nonabsorbent rubber face lets you press grout firmly into each joint without scratching the tile glaze, and it also lets you sweep away excess grout from the tile surface in one pass. This combination of packing the joint and cleaning the tile is why the rubber float (rubber surface trowel) is the correct tool for this task. The other items are grout formulations (cement grout, latex grout, furan resin grout) and describe what the grout is made of, not the tool used to apply it.
