Epoxy Grout..


I'll admit, I haven't done alot of research into it but then I haven't needed to either. I was wondering what ya'all thought of using epoxy grout? How fast does it set? Any problems on the clean-up? Maybe I'll try it one day, right now good old sanded grout and sealer does the job for me.

If you want to get your feet wet with epoxy, start out with Spectralock Pro from Laticrete. it's almost as easy as grouting with regular conventional grout, and quite frankly, once you use this stuff, you won't have any reason to use anyone else's epoxy. Not even any of Laticrete's OTHER epoxies!! It's that good.

I like it because you use every bit of it. Almost zero cleanup. The mixing is different but it's just something you have to get used to. Make sure you price it before your estimate goes out. I learned that the hard way on my first job with it.
