I've only upset G3000 once, found it similar in consistency to cal or webber (sticky and nice) I just used it as I would any other grout with no problems, dried in very nice colour with no patching.

yep. I've had a few bags like that, but the last bag I had was really gritty. same as the 1st bag I tried when it 1st came out.. I thought they'd improved the formula, but now I'm not so sure!?! I know it wasn't an old bag, as the shop I get it from doesn't hold much stock, so it gets turned around quickly.

After hearing a lot of hype over Tilemaster's adhesive's etc I thought why not give them a try as they are cheaper at one of my suppliers.

So far I personally find the Flexilevel does not flow as nicely as Levelflex.

The Setaflex 'Seta's' far to fast! No matter how wet it is mixed, I turn around and it's going off!
Weber SPF however is creamy in the trowel with a smoother consistency and doesn't go off like bugg3ry. (In my opinion)

Weber joint pro on natural stone floors is a NIGHTMARE ( on several jobs) whereas grout 3000 is ... (To be continued)
if you buy setaflex by the pallett as i do they will retard the rapid set by say an hour or two. no one else offers this and perfect for me with large format stone
 
Grout 3000 (continued - thanks to Lee@TileTown)
Used on limestone shower enclosure, worked out great and got all shower grouted in time to start washing off.

Lovely and smooth, very workable. Fantastic write up and wording on the bag.
Actually mixes when added to water unlike Weber grout which tends to float float float around then decides it's going to stiffen up and mix ..........now!
 
Where do you all buy the tilemaster i would like to try it if there is a cement-based one for swimming pools ??

I buy my Grout 3000 from Lee@TileTown
Grout 3000 is cement based and is recommended for swimming pools as it has very low permeability properties

On one

I have used both the Weber and the Tilemaster in the past but on different days and on different jobs on different substrates but today I had to use both of them one after another today,as I had ran out of the Tilemaster I used the builders Weber which was already onsite.
And I have to say the Weber Levelflex was the easy to use as it 'flowed better' even though you mix 25kgs of the Weber with 5l of water vs 20kgs of Tilemaster with the same amount of water.

Im glad you found the Weber flows better too.
