I can imagine. Mine were 400x150 ceramics and it was bad enough
Mixed it well bearing in mind it goes off so quickly. You say you used it "today" with no issues but my problem was days later, hope yours is OK.

Have you used mapei ff on ceramics that's a slow grout , I know because it suits my working practices
Just had this reply from Tilemaster
Thank you for your email.
I have known this happen a few times with grouts, not only Grout 3000 but products made by other manufacturers. Essentially all it is, is some loose laitance / contaminant left on the face of the grout that wasn't removed during the washing off phase. As the running water hits the face of the grout, the loose particles run off with the water. This will certainly stop once the contaminants on the surface have either been fully removed by the water, or equally if you were to rub along the joints with a slightly coarse pad, such as a washing up sponge, this will remove the very slight film left on the surface of the grout.
We shall see what we shall see!
