I’ve just recently used the new formula recommended to me by pro tiler tools, i used the sandstone colour....very impressed at how easy it is to apply and wash off and open time was good too......dried out completely uniformed....lovely stuff......I used it years ago when it used to take forever to dry and never used it again after that but this new formula will take some beating!.....as said it does go off quick but not too quick but I was grouting porcelain, yet to use it on ceramic , willpost again once I have

Yes it is not the old paper bags

If you mix it up in the bucket every 5 mins or so it takes longer to set , don’t add water just mix with gauger

Used the charcoal grout 3000 today. Perfect finish but it was very fast setting. Back to UCP working practices which isn't a bad thing tbh

Hate it...
Why do you need a grout that goes rock solid after 20 mins...

I prefer it as it allows me to get on with fixing showers, towel rails and sanitary-ware straight away.

They should call it rapid setting grout..
And sell it along side the old stuff ...
Like they do with adhesive, then we could have a choice...

I'm not the only one that think's it's crap.
Talking to other local tilers, quite a few think it's ruined a perfectly good grout and will no longer use it.
So potentially t/m have just lost 50% of there customer base...

Would be interested to know why they can't produce the 2 grouts along side one another.

One rapid set.... ideal for porcelain.
One slow set..... ideal for ceramics ( and old tilers that have slowed down)..

Do we have a t/m rep on here....?

BWT.......use it on Metro's, even ceramics and you will see what I mean, the stuff is, totally un-useble
