how bad is tubbed grout!!!???

[spenny]

through my own lazzieness i picked up a tubbed grout the other day to do a small part of grouing that needed done in my mates bathroom-what a load of Hello and to tilers forums.. it is-its horrible to wipe off and the time saved m=by not mixing it yourself,is lost trying to wipe it clean off the tiles-never again!
Anyone else agree?!

[sWe]

Never tried, never will

[CJ]

Tried it once................NEVER AGAIN

[doug boardley]

same as sWe for me

[DERBER]

its about as bad as it gets, so is the fix n grout rubbish too..........

[Fekin]

Brilliant stuff, couldn't recommend it high enough

[Mad Hatter]

Two in one fix and grout and tubbed grout, you've tried it now and you'll know to stay well clear of it in future!

Every day is a school day...

Used it 2 years ago on my bathroom before i went on a tiling course and started tiling properly,never again

[whitebeam]

Would'nt give it house room

Well ready mixed grout is rubbish and most 2 in 1 stuff, however I did use Mosaic Adhesive & Grout 2 in 1 powder many times and find it great gear and works out cheaper than buying adhesive and grout separate.

Wouldnt touch it, as sWe said never have and never will.

I Agree with all you guys on this one. tried it as a short cut a couple of years back and oh my was i pleased i did.....not.! makes you wonder how they manage to keep it selling it, are any of the Unibond addys/grouts any good..?

GAZ i was stuck in the middle of nowhere a couple of years ago half way through a mosiac kitchin splashback and the LOCAL hardware shop had unibond fixnfill, so i grabbed it thinking "its unibond they dont do crap"! alas how wrong i was, the sticking parts ok but on the grouting side it just kept shrinking back!

What was that opinion based on, if I may ask?

[marc1106]

sWe it WAS (emphasis on WAS) based on years of usin other products they make and being entirely satisfied im a kitchen fitter by trade so i use the sealants, glues al the time.
BUT NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THEIR FIXNFIL it should be done away with. il stick with BAL always
