Let's have some Grout talk

[Dumbo]

Not the only tiler on here to have had trouble with ucp gris drying blotchy and having to fine sand joints, good few on here and I personally know another 3 tilers up here having to do same.

Not just the grey had it with Jasmine

I am regular user of UCP and over the last 10 years or so I can recollect only 2 occasions where I have had problems and they were down to grout haze caused by cold atmospheric conditions and textured glass mosaics (I was never going to win that one anyway)
So, speak as you find!

I AM speaking as I find so don't understand your last statement!

Just saying I find other people's problems with UCP slightly perplexing, nothing more.

I reckon I've heard more people complain about it than people say this is wonderfull .
Maybe someone could set up a poll .
ever had a problem with ucp or not .

😕Personally I avoid Mapei grouts at all costs .. Just no faith in it after having probs in the past with shade differences.
Bal and Webber seem to be kinder to me 😵

Bal MM is all i use , but used granfix ultra on a job recently supplied by customer and it was prety good to work with, dont like weber or mapei grouts though its been a while since i used weber , have they improved it ?

Weber grout nice to work with and leaves a much smoother finish than Mapei, pot life much longer than BAL mm

Once you get a handle on the drying times the Bal is great to use , ideal for porcelain
Il give the Weber another go though , cheers for that...

Had recently used Butec colorstuk rapin n. Consistent colour, creamy consistency, smooth finish, oh ! and fast setting.

Should be rapid n.
