amen.......It's very coarse and very difficult to strike off smoothly which leaves quite a rough surface, which surely defeats the object of an epoxy if the dirt has somewhere to sit, it reminded me of bal wide joint when doing the walls, quite a task to keep it off the floor. As for the washing off, I washed it 4 times with their liquid in hot water and there's still a greasy residue that I can hopefully get off in the morning when it's set. The biggest issue is how long it takes to set, every wash just pulls a bit more out of the joint and smears the tile face, I used a new sponge for every wash and followed the instructions very carefully. And my final gripe is its 8 times the price of a cement based grout, now that's just outrageous.
Sooooooo ....... Pretty much the opposite experience to Sharon then?It's very coarse and very difficult to strike off smoothly which leaves quite a rough surface, which surely defeats the object of an epoxy if the dirt has somewhere to sit, it reminded me of bal wide joint when doing the walls, quite a task to keep it off the floor.

Yep, pretty much, lol! I've calmed down a bit now, I still stand by my review of it though, I can't see what it's purpose is really.Sooooooo ....... Pretty much the opposite experience to Sharon then?
so apart from setting with high degree of hardness, being impervious to water, stains and dirt, also has a high resistance to acids and alkali'sYep, pretty much, lol! I've calmed down a bit now, I still stand by my review of it though, I can't see what it's purpose is really.
I'd go down the route of a cement based grout with a protective sealer in the future, it'll cover pretty much anything a domestic situation can throw at it. Yes epoxy has its place, I know that, I was just being flippant my issue with this one in particular is its being sold as a user friendly alternative to epoxy, and it really isn't IMO,so apart from setting with high degree of hardness, being impervious to water, stains and dirt, also has a high resistance to acids and alkali's
And prevents the growth of mould and bacteria, it has no use at all!
wasn't part of the job stone Bri?

I think I'd built up very high expectations of it from posts on here and talking to a couple of others who'd used it, I think I was expecting a grout that was similar to cement based just with a bit more washing off, probably hoping for a bit much to be fairIt's worth every penny!
You have to be comparing it to an epoxy and it's far better in every respect.
I have the same issues but just with white one, hard to fill in,hard to archive the nice finish,but start this morning with antracite and work really fine, easy to apply. Seems the white one have different sand and not work in the same way.It's very coarse and very difficult to strike off smoothly which leaves quite a rough surface, which surely defeats the object of an epoxy if the dirt has somewhere to sit, it reminded me of bal wide joint when doing the walls, quite a task to keep it off the floor.
