    Default Evil grout!!!

    Been doing a job recently with a load of Porcelanosa
    Anyway finished tiling a bathroom yesterday and went in this morning to grout it, so far so good
    This particular room is quite small and has no windows and the only lighting the builder has on site is mammoth 500W halogen floodlightsNow I thought these were hard enough to work with when I was fixing the tiles - I must have lost a stone in sweat
    But that was nothing compared to when I started to grout
    Colorstuck Rapid - EVIL.....
    Mixed the small bag provided and then knocked it back up again after a quick cuppa Started spreading it on gloss finish wall tiles and I'm not joking when I say it was setting as it hit the tilesWhat made it worse the Borneo tiles have a rounded, bevelled edge so the grout was just caking and drying on contact - NIGHTMARE!!-Eventually got it perfect but what a job!!
    Let this be a lesson to all - never use this grout under the intense heat of a halogen lamp
    Am stopping by the tool supplier over the weekend for some decent lighting
