Ardex Eg8

Hi all, i ordered 5 tubs of this today. Trying it for the first time. I normally use kerapoxy and have used easypoxy as well. What do people think of the Ardex?? Ease of use?? clean up etc??
 
Brilliant stuff. So easy to use. I think I wrote a thread about it last year Clean up not a problem. It's pretty thick when you mix it up. Unlike normal grout you can use as much water as you like to clean it off the face of the tile.
 
Cheers Sean. Did you just use sponges or emulsifying pads?? I am trying the Ardex as i can get it from CTD in Cambridge. Not really local but local ish. Every other time i have to order from miles away which is a pain.
 
Cool thanks. I'm liking the sound of the Ardex more. What's it like for pot life? is it like it says on the tin?
Haha c'mon Paul, when have u ever heard the words 'pot life' and 'epoxy' in the same setence? Hahaha

And I make Sean right! Forget sponges, use spongetex cloths from supermarket mate 5 for £1 best by far!!!!
 
True Marc, pot life of most things now seem stretched. We can live in hope though. I will get some spongetex cloths and sponges and emulsifying pads and microfibre cloths. Can't be to prepared with epoxy.

Don't say I didn't warn u when I said spongtex was the best! Hahaha
 
Used the ardex Epoxy once. Lovely to use. Mixes well and you do get a reasonable time to work with it and clean up before you start sweating profusely.
White penny mosaic floor is what I used it on.
 
Better features? what would those be?
I quote:
Easy to apply, no special application tools required
Available in 5 colours
Combines the chemical resistance of epoxy grouts with the enhanced application properties of cement based grout.
Can be cleaned off the surface of the tiles up to 60 minutes after application.

It is also classified as EC1 plus which means it produces very low emissions.
Phew!!!!

I found it very toxic and difficult to clean off before 60 mins, a 4kg tub is too big for one person to apply and clean, most are 2-3kg. The 5kg tubs that Kerapoxy have I split in two. EG8+ is the worst Ive ever worked with, it was going off way too quickly. Pile of ***** basically. Even Kerapoxy is better lol.
