Had a demo of epoxy grouting from a BAL technician, you need to you a hard rubber float and work quickly because, like rapid set addy, goes off very quickly. At the same time, cleaning off residual grout is important as again it sets very quickly, the guy doing the demo was using a BAL white emulsifying pad to remove the residue as it had gone off in about 4mins on the surface of the tile. He told me it is better if 2 guys work together when using epoxy as one can fill and the other can clean as they go along. Tools are usually disgarded afterwards too. The guy was sweating quite heavily after only a few minutes because it was hard work!
