    Default The devils grout!!

    Yes another black grout job today followed by half an hour in the bath with a scrubbing brush. Tried Mapei as opposed to bal to see if it 'worked better. All other colours of ultracolour plus are fairly fast drying so went out of my way to get a bag but no major improvements compared to other black grouts. Back to the job tomorrow for another wipedown and silicon. Looks darned good though. i know I know pics pics pics, after I get my books in honest

    Used the cement grey today and found it brilliant stuff to use, Mapei ultra colour black found it easier than other brands

    Well, CTD had 302 bags of it in the country somewhere but didn't know where exactly, so got it from our new friends (Tile Giant) Tile it All.
    SOOOO glad I sealed twice before grouting. Used the Mapei because, firstly, like all there other grouts and second, heard about bal drying different shades sometimes.
