Grouting directions

Grouting directions


Inside your take-home kit are the following items:



  • Gloves
  • Cup for stirring the grout
  • Water cup
  • Sponge
  • Light Bulb Stirring stick
  • Grout


Step one: Give your bulb a quick spray of alcohol

Step two: Mix your grout in the little white cup, using the water cup to slowly add water and stir to a consistency of peanut butter or toothpaste. VERY IMPORTANT: Mix the water in slowly because you don’t want your grout to be watery.  OR put a small amount of water in first and slowly add the grout. Either way will work fine. 

Step Three: Set aside a large bowl and fill it with water.

Step Four: Spread the grout across the entire bulb and wait for 6 minutes. Wipe as much extra grout as you can using your gloves or clean hands.

Step Five: Go to the water bowl and use your sponge to gently rub away excess grout. Let the bulb dry for five minutes. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not scrub; gently wipe away the grout.

Step Six: Go to the water bowl and again use your sponge to gently remove the excess grout. DO NOT scrub.


Step Seven: Let the bulb sit for 24 hours and then use a baby wipe to remove the dust. Your bulb should look amazing at this point. Dump the water and bowl in the grass. It will harm your pipes.

Step Eight: Add the light bulb first in the base of the metal part. Next, build the lamp by pressing the tines together and inserting them into the bulb. Plug it in and light it up!

Step Nine: Optional: Seal with Modge Podge Clear Glossy Spray. (Walmart)
