    Default UNIBOND M/P Advanced suitabilty????

    Have just tiled bathroom with matt tiles using this adhesive, does anyone know if its ok to use as a grout? As on the back it says it is not suitable to grout matt tiles.

    FULL PRODUCT NAME: Unibond Tile on walls. Advanced, all purpose waterproof adhesive and grout. (white and red tub).

    Is there a special grout that i should use for matt tiles? Any suggestions welcome.

    Thankyou in advance for any help

    I've never used it but can't see why you can't use on matt tiles.

    You can use it, but it's a nightmare to work with and leaves a kind of PVA residue on the face of the tiles. Will do your job but won't be as forgiving as unmixed bags of grout.

    i would advise you to buy a bag of grout and mix yourself by hand it is easier than you think and will give you better result!

    As above, wouldnt use addy as grout if i could help it even if it does say you can on the tub. Cant believe it would give you as nice a finish as powdered grout
