Grout, grout and grout

[Spare Tool]

We need a test, if a knock up some epoxy and some regular flexi grout tomorrow, besides swinging it from my b#ll end and see which grout snaps off first, how could we test the theories out? 😀

Good morning sir. Mazzoleni,
as a result of the phone call just passed, I confirm that the grouting performed with Fugalite Bio is less rigid than a stuccoing performed with Fugabella eco stuccos.
I'm available for any clarification.
Sincerely.

while mapei says: no difference between epoxy and ucp. the only difference during a bending is that epoxy does not come off the tile...

 

[Italy]

explaining better, during a crack in the screed, epoxy will not include any bending, like ucp

Mapei UK and bal said epoxy less flexible than modified cement grouts.
Are we any the wiser!?

Still no wiser...all I can say is the epoxy is a lot stickier, gonna end up being a Brazilian this experiment 😀
I must say its not half as bad to use as I expected...put it off as long as I could but cracked on and got about 18sqm grouted today..

Let's do this way. on the mainland the flexion is the same between epoxy and ucp.
on the islands, ucp is more flexible than epoxy.
joking aside, I believe the technical mapei I called today,
that said: no difference, only difference epoxy remains attached
ucp exits from the lines. (and it seems to me the most sensible answer.
you, believe who you want. haha 😉

My kerakoll rep just got back to me and said epoxy is more flexible.

I'll definitely believe that epoxy is more flexible thus making Paul's simple logic wrong 😛

But when you go south of the equator and the water spins the other way and the water is more flexible, then what ?😱

Guess it depends on the manufacturer then. So will stand partially corrected 🙂
