Thanks Silicone II
Well yesterday I spent a couple hours taping off the new white tiles and caulking the grout lines with Silicone II black caulk.
Checked it this morning and IT DIDN'T SET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their website says if it doesn't set up just remove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!
Guess that'll be easy, yeah right, sticky gooey black gunk that I have to clean out of these narrow grout lines.
Need to wait a day to cool off first, right now I feel like just ripping out all of the tile.

Let it sit a couple of days and it will set up. Sillicone sets up slow when you fill a crack 1/4" or bigger. I don't where you got the silicone but the best bet if your using it as grout is to go a tile shop and they will give the right stuff.
All silicones are not the same. Be patient and good luck.

the silicone i used for grout was made by the grout company and i bought it at the tile store like wally said.
btw, the grout lines on my granite were very very small, so the amount of silicone used was not very much. the granite was butted very close together.
