    Hello! Council (freeholder) gave retiled my balcony as they had to fix the one above me so figured they'd do it at the same time.

    BAL Bal GT1 Admixture..........

    Has anyone ever used this in other grouts besides bal to make them more flexible ... I know you shouldn't do it, and bal would never recommend it........ But in the real world do you think it would have disastrous consequences if used in grout 3000....?

    Black Bal Grout seems to have penetrated through the wall tiles

    Can any tilers recommend a way of getting these black dots off our wall tiles? The tiles are matt white and are porcelain. Black Bal grouting was used. We have tried all different grout removers but none have worked.

    Kubala grout float review

    Well, I was sent one to review by a member on here @Lucas D and yes his post was right, it's a great float, very slim and light with a great sharp rubber edge which removes grout very well, I can't comment on its durability but if it lasts ok I'll probably get another.

    Kubala 10mm notched trowel

    just had the pleasure of using a kubala 10mm notched trowel, I found it lighter than my Rubi trowel. It was easier to clean as it's made of stainless steel and the handle is all plastic. I've only used it to lay 10m2 of floor tiles but will post another review in a few weeks time to see how well...
