Norcross Grout question.

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Has anyone had a problem with Norcross 4 in 1 dark grey grout?

My mate is having some trouble with it drying patchy. I would appreciate any feedback.

I've read various reported issues with it from People who use the forum Phil. Personally I've never used it.

Never used the grey but did use limestone on a big floor and had no problems...but using it on mosaic on some walls and it was a pig to use.

I used some last year, the grey and creme ( iirc ) both dried patchy, not a nice grout to use at all imo, a pig to wash off to boot.

Norcross was specified on my mates job, he had no say in it. He just wanted some feedback from anyone else who has used it.

Yes Jamespaul, you are missing the point of this post, my mate is subbing to a tiling contractor, who supplied the materials. He asked me to find out if any members of TF had problems with Norcross grout. Nothing to do with bill of quants.

Have you used Norcross grout? yes or no, if yes how did you rate it? simple as that.

I can remember ages ago when a batch of BAL grey was going patchy and it was something to do with the cement batch they had, quickly sorted it out by changing the batch.

Though to be fair, loads of reasons to patchy grout I guess!

Is it not just efflorescence? Too much water when washing off?

Go over it again with a thicker mix and don't wash off using so much water, use a epoxy float or something stiff to get most of it off first?

You'd know better than I though! ha
Feel like I'm teaching you to suck eggs Phil. lol

Just read the whole thread (rooky mistake rushing a reply after first post) and understand the situation now! Sorry!

I haven't used it. So I'll shut up now. hehe
