Does anybody know if they have made any changes to the Mapei epoxy grouts?

Used the red Kerapoxy Design the other week and my god it was easy to use, sat round for a while waiting for it to kick off. then used the anthracite Kerapoxy yesterday and it was nicer than using most cementitious grouts.

Not sure if it was just down to the temp or what but if they have changed the stuff, well done Mapei

Ooh, that 's good to hear - want to learn loads more about that - especially from anyone who has been able to acurately weigh and only use parts of it....

I thought the Anthracite was pretty good to work with too. I preffered the finnish on it to the cement based grout. I have only used it on small floors and used the glitter with it also. I had the glitter and resin on some of my tools for about 6 months as it was a nightmare to get off.

My only comment would be that I had to go over and over the tiles to remove the resin pathces that stuck to the face of the tile. This takes some close wathcing as if you miss some bits that would obviously be quick tricky to remove.

I spoke to a commercial tiler recently who commented on how good it was to work with. This guys normally uses Bal epoxy as this is normally specified by his Architect but he couldn't get a hold of it on this job so chose to use the Kerapoxy.

I prefer to use epoxy rather than cement based and never had any probs with mapei kerapoxy.

I havent noticed any differance with it.

MG, if you buy 2kg pots you can transfer the resin and hardner into small pots by weighing them, (old pesto pasta sauce jars or baby food jars are good) so long as the proportions are kept consistent it will be fine.
