    Default Kerapoxy AND ultracolour ???

    gentlemen and ladies... Whole bathroom so far is grouted in epoxy kerapoxy

    I have just tiled the concealed loo boxed in section... can I grout this in normal ultracolour?

    obviously the same shade 130.. but will it massively show up as different?

    I am unable to get kerapoxy anywhere locally and need to finish this job today

    thanks
    Dave

    My first instinct is it should be ok, having used both ultracolour and kerapoxy now, if not together in the same shades, but I kind of trust that the match should be pretty good? What shade is 130?

    Both can be almost equally smooth...?

    I just looked at your photos in the setting out thread, still think it would be fine.

    I suppose if in doubt ring Mapei, or Tile Giant and ask how close the match is?

    The thing is that if you "Have" to finish today and you cant get the Epoxy then you have no choice.

    I know it's a bit late now dave but i've used the jasmine lots of times with the matching silicon, the colour is the same but the texture is different(silicon being glossy) you may get the same effect with the grouts.
