Nice Josh, you like the mm2 grout?

Yes it’s nice too work with but quite pricey I used an ultra tile grout recently which was just as good and a fraction of the price

Yeah I’ve used gunmetal and smoke but I find it goes like a lollipop on your guager very quickly and expensive especially from Topps

Yes it’s very expensive from there I did try mapei grout aswell but really couldn’t get on with it at all so sticking with mm2 ultra tile and Larsen grouts

The new Weber premium grout is very good, thats what I use all the time now, not so quick drying as Mapei stuff more like mm2 and half the price. I’ve never tried Ultra or Larsen grouts

The last 2 bathrooms I used gunmetal MM2 on went ever so slightly patchy, not that noticeable but have never experienced it before.

Happened to me once so far went really patchy on the last job on a porcelain tile but has dried perfect on this job these are ceramic but I’ve been using ultra tile silver grey which is the same colour as gunmetal and had no problems what so ever with it

I rarely use topps or Ctd I normally shop at the smaller independent tile shops around me

Its really odd, I know some have had problems but I have never experienced it before.
Going to change, thought about trying Keracoll Fugabella but need to get to Pro tiler to see if I can get a colour chart and set up an account.

I’ve had same problems with Mapei, sanding sorted it
