    Is it a standard epoxy or one supplied by the company to mix with glow powder

    I was at a laticrete evening last wednesday and the guy mentioned the glow in the dark additive.he had glitter additives with him.their grouts look class i must say but very very expensive.apparently laticrete are going to hold bigger shows and bring over top men to show all about the range and demonstrate it all too.hotels in dublin and belfast the guy said.

    Gary,

    Which manufacturer do you use? I tend to use Mapei and really struggle to get the gold satchets, any help is gratefully received.

    Hi,

    This is my first post on this forum, and what a cracking resource it is.
    Google isn't my friend, so can anyone point me to a retailer for this lumo grout in London please (or somewhere cheaper)

    Thanks in advance.
