well i am using the indian sandstone and i am wanting to make the grout quite whiteish in colour... is it easy just to use white cement.. but how does this react with building sand that a reddy colour!!
Can kiln dried sand be used?
cheers

You could use KDS, but silver sand would be better.

Don't expect it to stay white for very long, though!
