You can use any type of grout you want in your situation - the 118.6 will be just fine. For future reference, and in case this will confuse anyone, the 118.6 is the ANSI standard for regular cementious grout. The 118.7 is the standard for polymer modified cementious grout. It is currently a gray area - most grouts now contain some sort of powdered polymer or modification even if they may not be classified technically (on the bag) as a 118.7 grout. Hey Scott,
