A pointed rubber grouter pushes grout into corners and narrow joints where a flat float cannot reach. The BAT Trade Quality model has a pointed rubber blade and a timber handle.
Work it along the joint to compact the grout, then strike off the excess. Use light pressure on final passes to shape the line. Rinse the blade often so dried grout does not scratch the tile.
Suits ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles on walls or floors. Keep one for dark grout and one for light: rubber holds pigment, and a stained blade will smear the next job.
