Epoxy grout. Timescale.

Kerapoxy 3mm groutlines!

That's good gear to use, make sure the tubs are kept warm prior to use as it makes it a lot easier to use, iirc the coverage out of a tub isn't great, but we had 5mm joints, you'll need lots of clean water, a few pads and sponges, it really won't be a bad job, good luck, just use one tub at a time,both apply it and both wash off, you'll have it done in no time, the last job I used it on we had about 50m2 on the ceiling alone, mid June in the heat, ouch, some pictures in my albums under Chiswick house,

i'd say 4 hours as apoxy grout is much harder to do then normal grout, you can't do more than 2 sq.m at time

Why's that ?

Hello... becouse if you done this many times it's easy for you , but if some never did apoxy it's -hell

If you spread to much epoxy and don't wash it off in time, it will go hard on the tile making it near impossible to wash off. It will also go off in the bucket if you mix more then you can spread in a short amount of time. Scales are a good precise way to half the tubs. This way you are working with fresh grout, easier to spread and wash off, and no waste from it going off in the bucket. Use plenty of fresh water with emulsifying pads then a wash with clean sponges. Have fun!:smilewinkgrin:

Hello lmao, how old, anyway, I only asked because you said you can't do more than 2m2 at a time, just wondering what your thinking was, it does all depend on experience, confidence etc but anyone and I do mean anyone should be able to do a tub at a time.

Freed have never used apoxy before, so i think he should start with small areas.

You may find that a hard rubber grout float will help too.

Kerapoxy 3mm groutlines!

unfortunately you will not have 5 hours pot life with this product - ( about 1.5 ) but honestly it is so easy to use i could get a 12 y.o. boy scout to grout 8m2 in 2 hours with it. Just get someone like the Mapei rep or in store tecni to show you what to do 1st.

The correct tools for application & cleanup are the key !

cheers
