Done bathroom floor, gulf stone quartz. Grouted this morning with bal superflex widejoint grey, although only 2mm grout lines. As its a warm day would there be any danger in going back to do Silicon later this afternoon? I've told customer not to get grout wet tonight under any circs as they always bathe the baby in the bathroom.

ps 1st client job, they paid me already as so happy with it. Good feeling.

Better still is not to grout the expansion gap, now it has only got the give of the flexi grout for expansion so the grout will / could crack under the Silicon, better off leaving it for Silicon only :thumbsup:

thanks Alan, that;s what I have done, was concerned about colour bleeding from grout into Silicon at the contact points
