    great advice from rich but he forgot to mention boiling hot water when you emulsify and wash of the epoxi you will find it works a treat , a good tip is 24/48 hrs later you can put a cloth over it with acetone on it this will take any stickyness of the tiles also it wil soften any small pieces of epoxy that you may have missed acetone is availible from anyone who deals with fiberglass

    10mm joints, dont envy you Andy.

    Lot of grout and dosh to fill those joints, remember to be well protected head to toe when dealing with epoxy

    I don't know about washing up liquid, After using silicone and washing up liquid, maybe the next day,the floor may need a clean down, if any washing up liquid residue gets into the wash boy, it is almost like an 80s foamparty

    Have seen guys adding wadhing up liquid to the mix to stop it going of as quick!

    Not a good Idea

    Being organised and efficient will help you more than adding Fairy in to the mix the you would be in right soapy bubble
