Mapei grout

[DHTiling]

Stopped using anything Mapei related now.

Weber or tile master , great adhesives and both good grouts .

I couldn't disagree more!?! Weber Joint Pro is my grout of choice. It's so smooth! I don't have problems with it going patchy anymore, although I did get that in the beginning. If you knock it up slightly too wet, it goes patchy, so I always err to the slightly dry side.
i find grout 3000 goes off too quick, but then I'm not the fastest grouter in the world.
cant stand Mapei for the reasons stated above... Goes off too quick, doesn't stick to anything, and has been too sandy for at least 4 years (that's when I first used it)!

Interesting method of how to stop shading. I was bragging about how I "thought" I knew how to stop webber grout shading down the shop with another tiler recently who also had a shading issue, however their was a job I had to go back to for snagging and I could not believe the shading!! This was a job I grouted with webber and was very confident it was 100% ok but to my sad surprise it was all patchy so from then on I refuse to use it.

Got a small cloakroom to half tile tomorrow and I'm going to be using grout 3000 for the first time. Will report back my findings!

Given the quality of their adhesives' self levelling gear etc, Weber grout is horrid beyond belief. Absolutely dreadful stuff.

Personally I use Mapei regularly without a problem and the Tilemaster 3000 grouts are very good also.

Damn it! You've jinxed me Charlie.. Grouted yesterday, shower area and floor. Come in this morning, floor looks ok, but shower area is really patchy, like it hasn't dried properly!?! Weirdly, it was the same mix!?!?! Gonna leave it another day, and see if it dries out.. :-/

One day on, and the grout colour is starting to even out, although its still not as light as it should be... I'm wondering if the weber grout takes longer to dry properly on a tanked surface, as none of the moisture is being taken by the substrate? Very strange!?! I think I'll be ringing weber technical on Monday...
