    hi pecks

    i have used either keraquick with some latex plus or adesilex p9 when fixing glass mosiacs and porc..
    ultra colour plus grout is fine. i fixed some polished stainless steel 100x100 tiles a few weeks back and i went easy and just pushed the grout into each joint as opposed to going over the whole area..

    I enquired about the p10 once, turns out to be a bit more pricey than some of the others. Im sure it worked out at around £30 to trade double the price of keraquik.

    I reckon P9 would be a good choice if you wont a cost effective slow setting addy that is up to the job.
