Just put in new flooring and grount and have a problem...?

My husband and I just layed new Adura Vinyl tile in our bathroom on Saturday. We opted to grout it with the Acrylic "Luxury" tile grout that is made for this tile. We grouted it last night. I just went and looked at it (almost 24 hrs after) and the grout is cracked!?!?!? It looks like it sank down into it the grout lines and there are thin cracks in EVERY single grout line.

Any ideas how to fix this and what we did wrong?!

    Regrout it , now the quicker the better. Grout shrinks. If you made wide grout joints, you will be sorry!!!!

  • The grout was probably too thick & shrunk as it dried. If you don't like the "sunk down" look, just reapply the grout. When I got small cracks in mine, I just put a little grout on the spot & rubbed it in with my finger. I recommend rubber gloves or something to rub it in with.
