Grout Epoxy Grout

Kerakoll fugalite eco can be used with glitter and meant to be more user friendly than standard epoxy. I've never used it though.

Yes I would go for Kerakoll's Fugalite its really loads easier to use than epoxy... Kerapoxy etc.
All you need is plenty of water & good Clean sponges, you dont need any emulsifying pads, You can get Fuga wash to put into the water as well to help wash off, & after its dry 24-48 hours if ou do have any residue you can get Fuga soap to wash it down with...

Work clean, follow ratios to the letter and be prepared to throw everything you use away afterwards! Be warned....the glitter is so light and goes everywhere if you don't work neatly. Use loads of dust sheets in adjoining areas. Wear gloves, use a few buckets of water and keep a test blob nearby to check as it sets up. White emulsifying pads work best IMO. Good results when done right

Mapei Mapeiglitter. Following the instructions to the letter, using white emulsifying pads and plenty of clean water. I did use LTP solvex after to clean the residue off of the face of the mosaic as epoxy leaves a very slight film.

You're right my Italian buddy! Maybe 25% though eh!? 😀

I used the Mapei glitter grout, easy as to use. Clean up with water as normal. I used the max ratio of glitter to grout. Great stuff and it gives a great result. View attachment 79752View attachment 79753

Without being too critical, that to me looks a bit messy. I appreciate that the mosaic is full of dips, but it stands out. There is residue all over the face of the mosaic too and the joints don't look uniform. Was the photo taken prior to wiping down?

Always wear NITRILE gloves with epoxy grout. If youre in a small room it might be worth wearing a mask, its toxic stuff in enclosed spaces. Wear long sleeves. This applies to any make of epoxy grout.
Put a cup of white vinegar in the wash down water, with a final wash down with plain clean water. I use white emulsifying pads and sponge cloths to clean it.
If you need something stronger to clean any residue off then use acetone, but white vinegar should do it, even neat if need be but then wash off with clean water.
