Some of you lads who have been tiling for years must be really really really slow for this grout to set before you have finished .
I can grout, and have done easily over 50m2 of tiles with new 3000 without it going off, I can easily grout a full bathroom without it setting on my Todd .
It says on the packet ‘mix it up every 5 mins to keep it workable’ (or something like that :) .
Just on another note, the job we are on, my young plastering apprentice , 19, is grouting 3 bathrooms a day (60m2) to a very good standard , and has really only just started grouting on this hotel job last month , so all I’m saying , is work a bit harder, a 19 year old apprentice plasterer is taking the Mick out of some time served tilers , how embarrassing :p :p :p :p :kissingheart:
WOW.....Wish I was as good as you....

And there's me thinking you were just a common plasterer.....:cool:

And like I said......the new grout is great for porcelain, especially large format...

Now, go grout 50m2 of Metro's, ceramics or small textured planks.........then come back and say how great it is....

Erm,I would do that in a breath , did a 25m2 one the other month in Charcoal , about half hour, had a brew and a rubbish half way through ;)
I’m not bragging, Im just obviously used to hard work for a few hours, where some of you lot want £600 a day for grouting 6m2 and having 6 half hour brews.
I have morals, good jobs, for good money and make sure they get a good days graft out of me :oops: :thumbsup: ;)

Obviously I hit the nerves of a few ‘tilers’ on here, always have, not being time a time served tiler (not many in the country to be honest) but I’m pretty fast and pretty decent,never had a complaint, and earn decent money .
and obviously i train my lads to be fast and good at their jobs, as I always get good responses from the lads who work for me .
And Bloody hell lads, no need to be jealous , we all work at different speeds , but if you can’t use a fast set grout (not that fast) you must enjoy that kip in the van at brew,lunch and afternoon brew ;) ;)
Ps I’m not going away now until end of July for a week, then obviously my few weeks end of August as well, then maybe one in October , grout fast, have good holidays boys, that’s my motto :p
