Love grout 3000
Hate anything mapei...

Same for me, newly jumped on the Grout 3000 bandwagon as it's now stocked less than a mile away

Had a bad experience with black Mapei grout a couple weeks ago, was all i could get at very short notice (as in tiles are up and customer now no longer wanting grey grout as i'm ready to grout). I don't want to talk about it

I know is a pain but is a quality

Worst to date.......Norcross 4 in 1 (Blue steel) used yesterday and supplied by the customer!
Consistency of tarmacadam
Far too gritty, for 1mm joints,
Couldn't get it into the wall joints,got more on the floor
Couldn't get it off my grout float,
Set far too quickly(grout 1m2 and wash it off immediately,grout 1m2..)
All the qualities of the dreaded old Bal MicroMax

It was that bad,it had me wondering if Norcross know how bad it is.
Because if they did know.......surely they wouldn't send it out of the factory gate,surely?
