Epoxy grout on a large floor

[CON5933]

Hi mate, :welcome: to the forum...'ditto' on the mapei grouts

 

[Rich]

Thank you very much!! I am using Mapei (I always do) and there are two of us doing it so one will grout and the other can go behind and wash off. We already have the grout but dont have the epoxy grout floats, is it a good idea to get a couple or will normal floats be ok? Thank you all for your advice, Il be using this site a lot in the future I think.
P.S Nice idea about the wet rag in the door way Im going to be trying that one.

I manage ok with a normal grout float with the new epoxy's...

The best piece of advice I can give is to get a spray bottle and make a solution of liquid detergent and water, spray on tiles before grouting as a release agent.

A very simple trick the epoxy grout pro's use .

Not being negative but keep the water clean and cold for washing off epoxies tend to set with a heat reaction.

warm water makes it easier to rinse the sponge and emulsifying pad....warm water will not effect epoxy grouts set quicker as you wash off IMHO...and i have used this method for along time..

Hot water might( maybe) but not warm but i do agree keep it change regulary..
