Tilemaster Tilemaster grout 3000 new formula

[Boggs]

Me too!
But you look at the Bal Grout swatch, and the choice of colours is rather limited.

You only need one, gunmetal seems to work with everything at the moment.

Some of you lads who have been tiling for years must be really really really slow for this grout to set before you have finished .
I can grout, and have done easily over 50m2 of tiles with new 3000 without it going off, I can easily grout a full bathroom without it setting on my Todd .
It says on the packet ‘mix it up every 5 mins to keep it workable’ (or something like that .
Just on another note, the job we are on, my young plastering apprentice , 19, is grouting 3 bathrooms a day (60m2) to a very good standard , and has really only just started grouting on this hotel job last month , so all I’m saying , is work a bit harder, a 19 year old apprentice plasterer is taking the Mick out of some time served tilers , how embarrassing

I like it, much better, but don't find it as quick as ucp as others have said

 

[Dumbo]

I'm finding I'm getting on better with ucp lately as I have changed my washing technique a little .

I've not used emulsifying pads on cement based grout ever I don't think.

give it a go Andy, you will find you can let the grout set a bit longer and it will if very quickly. Don't know why I struggled trying to wash off with sponge only

Emulsifying pads are a good idea ,be great on fast setting stuff .
Ive used them for a final wipe-down when dry, to get rid of dust, but never wet

Im not on about me andy to be honest, and i certainly aint bragging ,its the 19 year old lad who has only just started grouting doing 60m2 in a day , and being done by 3 i find interesting . i find grouting boring snd want it over with asap, so the old tilemaster grout was a mare for me on porcelain

And like I said......the new grout is great for porcelain, especially large format...

Now, go grout 50m2 of Metro's, ceramics or small textured planks.........then come back and say how great it is....
