Check with a tile store before the grout cures much more!

Probably too late for that. But I checked anyways, and they were less
than helpful at two local flooring stores, which is what I've come to
expect from such stores (i.e. if you're not buying 3,000 square feet
of Italian slate or hand scraped hickory at $20/square foot, they
could give a shit).

But thanks for the advice anyways.
