Large grout gaps

[Jse85883]

I've just grouted 6sq m of hand made wall tiles with roughtly about 10mm grout gaps. Had an absolute nightmare with mapei's large gap grout, i found it too creamy and it was just slipping down the wall had to have it almost at a powder before i could keep it in the gaps.

Has any one else had this problem and what grout would you suggest i use next time?

1omm grout joints?? wow.
Don't like the sound of that,i actually love the mapei grouts and all but have never had to grout that size on walls anyway,but the mapei dries very quickly !!

next time try ardurit C2

Sorry you had problems - the large format grout (GG) is really designed for floors. Why didnt you give Ultracolor a go ? it does 2- 20 mm ??

thats exactly what it was Cliff. just couldn't get the consistency right to hold it in the gaps then it recommends 15-30 mins before you wipe off. The problem was i had to have it so dry to hold it in there i had abou 30 seconds before it went off!!!!!!!!!!
