Totally agree with you but within guidelines. You should not be able to go to one Topps Store and get one price then go down the road to another Topps and get a different price! Does that happen with CTD?

If a fixer knew what products cost to the penny they would be able to operate better when quoting!

:stupid:When you are getting a fixed price in your local Topps and you are at another store, simply ask for the store to phone your local one to confirm your agreed prices....

I used to stick golf clubs together with epoxy and I know you said you didn't have a bad reaction to the grout if you didn't use gloves but you need to be careful. I was always told your body has no way of getting rid of epoxy from your system once its in there and it gets in there through skin contact.

Just did my first job today (a kitchen worktop) using BLACK Mapei Kerapoxy. I am not a tiler, but I have done quite a few tiling jobs and this was part of a kitchen fit. I found it a bit of a stressful experience too perfectionist. For a start, I couldn't get the room or the tiles warm, so the stuff was as thick as guts. I was using my usual rubber tile float as well - so I had no end of problems getting the stuff into the joints. problem is, once you have mixed it, you have to go! Got there in the end, but I won't be rushing to use it again..... (especially in black)

Don't understand the issue here. If you have the correct equipment epoxy grouting is dead easy!!. Formulation wise the hardener component is roughly 1% water wipeable unlike the old formulation epoxies.

1 Once mixed apply the grout with a hard rubber squeegee (normally blue in colour)
2 Remove excess by drawing the squeegee diagonally across the filled joints
3 Emulsify the residual film with a dampened white scotchbrite pad kept flat against the tiling
4 Remove the film by drawing a good quality damp sponge diagonally across the tiling
5 Leave any slight marks left on the tile surface until the grout has cured and remove with a scotchbrite pad and water after 24 hours
6 If left much longer Nitromors paint stripper will probably be required

Been using this stuff for the past couple of days on a church am working on,dont see the problem either,while not as easy as using normal grout,it was'nt no where near as bad as using the epoxy of old,still used lots of sponges though,probably only washing off two to three metres per sponge,we used hot water to wash off and it seemed to come off great no scotchbrite pads or anything needed.
