Hi

[gfish]

Hi, I am a newby in the forum, and want to say hello to all the other members out there.

:huh2: I have a question as well.

I am redoing the grout in a kitchen which has tiles on the worktop.

What sort of grout should I use for this?

I believe some sort of stainless, flexible product is needed, but I don't know what brand name or specific product to look for. Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Gfish

hello and welcome the forums.......The microban stuff is fantastic stuff for w/tops as well but isn,t fully water/stain proof....

If you feel a bit more ambitious and want a fully stainproof grouting job then you can try this...quite easy to work with compared to the older epoxy types...
