I've finally managed to get the bathroom floor done and have attached a picture, apologies its not a great pic, its taken on my phone but you get the gist.

It looks great but what a nightmare to use, the glitter went everywhere, and the putty stuff that you need to mix with the glitter is really sticky which you will see from the pic, absolute nightmare to get off, I have had to clean it about 4 times and it's still there. I have sourced some stuff from Mapei called Pulicol which gets it off without damaging the grout.

I definitely recommend it just be prepared to be cleaning for weeks

Also, you need to be quick, it goes hard very quickly in the tub so you don't have much time to play with!

Happy glittering peeps!

Never had that problem when i tried it.

Really? and it's left a horrible film on the tiles? it's like vaseline!

did you seal those tile sbefore grouting?
the only probs i've had was getting it off my float and clothes

tally ho channyfro,are those polished porcs you have fixed?

No I didn't seal, was going to as soon as I got this stuff off.

I know, the guy who did it now has fairy dust all over his tools

Yeah i would probably throw float and sponges etc away after using it.

Yes they are polished porcelain?

the whole point in sealing is to stop stains etc getting into the tile surface......using glitter grout without sealing i dont think was a good idea

Now you tell me, I thought you sealed after you had grouted?

i'm far too tight, i've been known to get my float spotless after devil grout and re-usable,i do agree with the sponges though............lol

if you sealed after channy,then all your grout is going to get stuck in the tiny microscopic holes that polished porc has in the surface and dull the tile and if you seal on top of that effectively your just sealing that in.plenty cleaning products out there for this...personally iv never used one for this but im sure someone will come along and advise you whats the best course to take to sort it

davey id give the glittery sponge to my mrs for her xmas...women love these kinda things

I have got Policul recommed by Mapei for this so will do that this weekend and fingers crossed it comes up nice.

This tiling business is no fun. I just wanted glitter!!!! jeeze, what's a girl got to do to get this without all the mess...

I love the fact that my mop bucket is now well and truly glittered up and yes us women do love those kind of things!

keep us updated channyfro
