Grout Bisazza Fillgel - TilersForums.com

Use plenty of white emulsifying pads and sponge cloths, as Marc mentioned using normal sponges is a waste as they just clog up. Use warm cleaning water if possible and use plenty of clean water. Put a cup full of white vinegar in the water, and give a final wash down with just plain water. White vinegar in water to clean tools also helps. I now use it instead of acetone to clean up.
As soon as youve finished applying the tub of filgel/epoxy clean it off dont wait.

Always wear Nitrile gloves and try not to get it on your skin, if you do clean it off straight away as it can burn, its toxic stuff. Im sensitive to it so I always wear two pairs of nitrile gloves a long sleeved tshirt and a mask.
If you need to remove any dried epoxy you can use a heat gun to soften it. Ive not used Mapies' epoxy remover so I dont know how good it is.
Any epoxy grout is nasty stuff.

OK OK.
I started this trend because I wanted an answer from @MissTiler
professional mosaic.
I was interested if you use special tricks to make fillgel easier to pull.
Former keep warm or cold before mixing?
cleaning I have no problems.
I'll try with sponge cloths.
This might be fine?

If the tubs have been sitting in a cold building site/warehouse I'll sit them in a bucket of warm water for a while to make mixing easier.

Yep, to loosen up the epoxy grout before cleaning it off. I cut the pads in half as they are quite large. As soon as theyre clogged up with grout I chuck 'em and get a clean one.

I leave the stove in winter to warm the night fillgel.
