Default grouting travertine

I have been asked to finish a travertine wall by grouting avoiding the natural gaps, cracks and holes in the tiles. I figured a syringe of some type would be handy (if not time consuming) but thought I should ask for some quality advise from you guys before I proceed. Cheers

You can use a grout gun for this. They are available from tradetiler.com. Karl Dahm and Rubi also sell them

Although I've never actually used one so I don't know how they proform, more of a masking tape and spatula man myself (Old School).

I've also recommend Mapei ultra fine grouts for trav these i have used and found to be a quality product should work well in a grout gun too

Also remember to grout first before you seal.
