You'll be fine, just may have to use a little extra effort to fill the smaller joint but it will fill in with the soup as you clean the grout.:)

Even though the claim is readily made that "matching caulk" is available the truth is the caulk probably won't match perfectly and the texture will be different so I wouldn't suggest you use the caulk to fill a grout joint. In a corner where there is a change-in-plane the mismatch would go unnoticed but on a flat plane it will likely show in contrast to the grout.:)

After the grout has been spread and set for a few minutes you will use a damp sponge to scrub and dress the joints. The sponge will begin to pick up some sludge and this sludge will easily fill the narrow joints for you.:)

People use Popsicle sticks, tooth brush handles, broomsticks, god only knows what people come up with. There is nothing wrong with any of that I suppose but it is all totally unnecessary.

A simple damp sponge will do all of that in a whiz and deliver perfect looking joints every time. I don't understand why so many people try to re-invent the wheel all of the time.:):wallbash:
