Looking for some advice please,
Just used Kerapoxy medium grey for the first time last night, really very surprised, expecting to be chipping araldite with a chisel of my mosaics, nothing of the sort. Just in case anyone is wanting to try I would highly recommend it, the main problem I had was mixing it at night, because it was cold "Up North" it mixed like a thick butter, I only have 2.5m2 to tile but out of my 2kg tub, just about got 1m2. So spreading was tough going (probably warm with water next time), however removing the excess, and emulsyfying followed by cleaning diagonally with a damp sponge, has given a (in my words) fantastic result, and was no different to putting on ordinary grout.
Really very pleased, cleaned the floor about multiple times as per the manufacturers instructions with plenty of water and a damp towel to remove the excess residue.
On the whole only slightly more awkward than ordinary grout, give it a go.
My issue,
We are 12 hours in now, the epoxy is starting to harden to the point where it is resisting me sticking my nail into it, as I have two areas in the wetroom one grouted one not, it is easy for me to make a comparison, the tile surfaces look exactly the same, I cannot feel any residue on the tiles I have grouted with my finger, but if I put a bare foot on them they are very slightly tacky.
I very gently had another go this morning with an emulsfying pad and plenty of water, but to be honest I would be overjoyed if they dried and looked like how they do now, do I need to keep cleaning until there is no tackiness, or am I best leaving alone ?
I would be grateful for any response.
Cheers
Mark
