    Hi Colin

    just use a grout float but work cleanly, all the gimmicks have been tried and tested and dont work well. The float will push the grout deep into the joint how it should be.

    Have you sealed the marble ?

    you'll be best giving your marble a wash down with some diluted LTP Grimex and then rinse it off prior to sealing, (obviously you'll have to wait until your marble is completely dry before sealing) Which sealer did you get? LTP MPG?
    Oh and as Diamond said, all the gimmicky gadgets for grouting have been tried before with little success!
