Grout 3000 limestone problem - TilersForums.com

[beanz]

Has anyone had any issues with tilemasters limestone grout? I've just used it on a Travertine job, and it looks more blue/grey than limestone!?! I've used it before, and wasn't totally convinced with be colour then, but it seems far worse this time.

Give Tilemaster a call to see if there been any other issues....

Every brand of Limestone grout I've used has been a different shade from ivorys to browns to greys.

Yeah, I was going to ring them today, but the customer was around, and I didn't want to be over-heard.. They've not said anything yet, so hopefully it's not a big problem. I think I'll stick with patchy weber from now on lol!

Used it on 3 bathrooms last month in tge same house, was a good colour,it was dark to begin with but dried a lot lighter

Has it been finished long? Might just be moisture still in the floor maybe and the grout colour is quite susceptible to moisture? Just thinking out loud.

I tend to use the jasmine a lot where once I would have used another brand of limestone, personally I can't fault Tilemaster addy and grout.

the limestone is more of a portland colour as opposed to light stone beige if you know what I mean

Grouted yesterday, walls and floor. It's dry, and is a light colour. Just not the colour I wanted. I'll try the Jasmine next time.

Gary, that's exactly the colour I have...
