I then added it by spoonful on top of my project, pushing it into the cracks with my fingers.

I used a sponge to wipe off the excess grout, rinsing it repeatedly in a bucket of water.

The grout takes about 2 hours to dry and then use a washcloth or a bit of cheese cloth to buff each of the tiles in order to remove any haze left from the grout.
