[Andy Allen]

What grout would you use on a 600x300 porcelain tile thats going on a wall with 2mm joints...

What dose It set like?
I find it hard to get the perfect grout for pors on a wall......a grout that sticks on the wall without just falling on the floor and doesn't just wash out due to the pors not being porous. ......if you get what I mean.

How do you manage to screw up a quote? Lol

 

[Andy Allen]

Didn't know I could do 2 quotes in one post lol

Sure.

Click as many as these as you want.

And then click "insert quotes"

You can also highlight just a sentence in any post and then click insert quote, the same thing, and just that bit gets quoted.

it sets well andy, not as quick as mapei, but it doesn't slump or leave pinholes

 

[Ian]

Try grout 3000 Andy, it's lovely to work with and sets up lovely. As Doug has said, it doesn't set up too quickly and gives you plenty of time to wash off without pulling out of the joints. Cleans of the face of textured tiles very well also.

I found the weber left a few pinholes but that was sorted with a quick fill and a rub down with my finger and medical glove. I mix my grouts with distilled water and wash down too.

Really?! As in bottled water?

 

[White Room]

I'd use Ultra Flexjoint wall and floor from 1mm-20mm joints...

Best there is

yes dan. ive had so many issues with micromax 2 and patchy grout and its certainly not from overwashing I have had to try this, a little tip from an old friend. it seems to have worked. the water down london is very hard im just certain its got something to do with it.

 

[widler]

Tilemaster on porc is very good, mapai is rubbish compared does not mix as well, tilemaster mixes nice and thick and hangs well with not background suction

 

[Andy Allen]

Going to try the tilemaster 3000 on my next job.....anyone know how to find the nearest stockest of the stuff......im in Gloucester

[Just Rizzle]

Ahhhh - bottled isn't distilled, usually. And does have minerals in (if it's spring water etc). Distilled is when you boil it and catch the condensation when it's perfectly at 100 degrees at sea level, lower temperature higher up.

Sooooo that said. Your bottles clearly still have a shed load less minerals (and lime and Floride I expect then in London?) than tap water!!

Right ....got some grout 3000 mid grey to use on some 600x300 pors on the walls.
Im used to using bal grouts....is it similar to use? Would normally grout 5/6 m2 wiipe it off..let it set for an hour or so and polish the dust off with a dry cloth.

Same method works well with Grout 3000. In a bathroom I usually grout one wall, wash then polish an hour later as you do with BAL. I like my grouts fairly thick mixed too, but it can go off in 45 mins unless you keep mixing it.

I'd use Ultra Flexjoint wall and floor from 1mm-20mm joints...

I use Ultra adhesives and slc but always found their grouts (other than standard wall grouts) to be quite course. Is this still the case?

 

[White Room]

They state there grout can do 1-20mm, if it was course it would struggle with the 1mm joints.

Ha good point! Will have to give it another go.
