    Default Aquamix grout colourant and stone

    I've had an enquiry from a customer with an external porch tiled with tumbled marble mosaic and the bal grey grout has dried very patchy. I was going to order aquamix grey colourant but won't be able to use the phos. acid substitute as its soft stone, can anyone confirm that the colourant will work ok without the acid etching or is there another solution?
    Cheers
    Lee.

    Its harder for the colourant to bond to the grout if its polymer modified
