Any tips, tricks, helpful hints, or words of caution when grouting? I'm using a premixed precolored grout that can also be used as an adhesive.

First question: Should I use a sealant after i'm done?
I used an adhesive-type grout to re-grout my bathroom wall tile a couple years back and it was a tremendous pain in the ass. The elasticity of it made it very difficult to wipe down to a smooth finish. I wouldn't recommend using it. Go to a tile supplier and get some real grout. Sealing the grout can be a pain too, but it makes it easier to keep it clean.
