Watch as the Dremel Multi-Max and MM501 Carbide Grout Blade remove old grout around a bath tub to be replaced with clean grout for a refreshed look.
The action of the Dremel Multi-Max coupled with its uniquely shaped grout blade makes it the perfect solution for repairing a baths surround.
For this project we’ll use the Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool and MM501 one-sixteenth inch Carbide Grout Blade. Begin this project by inserting the carbide grout blade into the tool. Tighten the screw with the allen wrench to secure the blade in the holder. Set the tool to medium to high speed then guide the blade into the grout. To protect your tub we recommend that you apply a line of tape around the top edge of your tub first. You can also tape the tile for added protection. In smooth even motions continue to remove the grout on all sides.
Depending on the hardness of the grout a few passes may be required. If needed the blade can be easily rotated to get into tight corners. Be sure to unplug the tool before changing the blade. Remember to keep the blade parallel to the tub ledge, do not allow it to rest on the tub to avoid any scratches. This also sets the blade to a right angle at the wall. Put the blade in the grout and with a smooth motion you’ll prevent tiles for being nicked. To control plunge depth use the carbide grit line on the blade as an indicator. Do not plunge beyond the grit line as you could damage the backer board material. When you’re finished dust the area, remove the layer of tape and whipe clean with a damp cloth. Start your line of cualk working from the corner’s first. Once a smooth bead is all that’s left, wet your finger and smooth out the caulk. Let it set for the recommended time and your bath is as good as new.
