    I will not use that colour from BAL any more, i always get shading and i have tried alsorts of methods, same result..crap.

    Not all the colours do it just the limestone/black and grey in super flex... I have mentioned it a few times to a PST and got no satisfying answers..so i gave up using it.

    I use Ultra colour or another i have tried lately as well is the PCI grouts..

    Can only agree with Dave on this!
    Mind you when we used to use it, it often took just over the 3 days to fully dry out so you may be ok.
    We changed to Mapei grouts - 132 Beige is a good colour.
