Where can I buy a special caulking gun that uses commercial tile grout?

I have some 20" X 20" interior wall tile to grout and would like to avoid making a huge mess in my kitchen.

This method, if available, would seem to be a good, clean solution.

Grouting is not done with a caulking gun. Normally a grout trowel, a rubber trowel, is used. Using the trowel you get grout out of container, and apply it to the entire tiled area. Then scrape off the excess using the edge of the trowel going diagonally across the tile. Allow to dry until tile films over. Then wash with sponge. Should not be messy job. A drop cloth under the area should take of everything.

Yep, for about $300. Grout Floats - Grout Cleaning, Grout Removal, Professional Grout Cleaning machines, Grouting Machine (http://www.contractorsdirect.com/Tile-Tools/Grout-Floats) Look for the gun.

Also look at the float designed for counter back splashes.
