Red face Adhesive and grout mixed together.

Done a job last week customer supplied Materials. Uni bond adhesive. Thought id give it a shot. Finished the job Customer happy.

I vowed to myself never to use that gloop again.

Turned up for bathroom this morning at new house. (I advised customes last week to get bal products cos to me its the bees knees. )

And what did he have Uni bond and no not just adhesive.

ADHESIVE AND GROUT MIXED TOGETHER IN THE SAME BUCKET. AND HE PAID 30 QUID A BUCKET.

I said id use it as adhesive but advised him to get another grout to which he replyed he was recommened this stuff by the tile shop.

Has anyone used this Adhesive grout mixture before whats your views.

Only ever used it as adhesive for 2 tiles in my bathroom when I ran out of Bal, so I bought the smallest tub of addy and all I could get was B&Q value adhesive & grout.

My tiles haven't fallen off yet lol, but nobodies ever had anything good to say about it.

You'll probably find the grout shrinks back as it dries and ya have to grout twice...
