BAL Ebony Grout (efflorescence free) mixed with GT1
Yesterday I mixed up some BAL Ebony to use with these cheap B&Q tiles my customer bought, fearing the dreaded efflorescence. Today there was none!
The white along the sides is SBR. I prepped the walls with it, then washed the tiles down to avoid it clinging to them.
I am extremely pleased with the result.

Re: BAL Ebony Grout (efflorescence free) mixed with GT1
I nearly did at one stage, I was close to phoning wetdecs at onepoint and asking him to come and install the former for me.
The only fly in the ointment is that the client chose cheap B&Q porcelein at £6.98 for 6 in a box, and the diagonal cuts do show a bit of the white underneath. You can't see it in the photo but you can see it close up. I tried to brush the grout in, which dealt with a lot of it, then I learned on a small area not to clean it too enthusiastically along these lines.
The BAL grout worked well though. Mind you my hands are still black from doing it!
