Epoxy grout and grout floats . - Tile Advice

[Dumbo]

I haven't done epoxy grout for a number of years and the last time I did I used one of those heavy solid grout floats. Now My question is with the improvements in epoxy grout is it still necessary to use this sort of float or can a standard grout float be used .

You can easily use a standard float now. It floats just fine and I've found the epoxy floats too hard with the modern epoxys

I’ve been using the Kerakoll fugalite bio with the Kerakoll float and seems ok

Been doing a lot of fugalite recently. Been using my raimondi epoxy float though I imagine a standard float would be OK.

I used the one I got with the bio, good little float, rubbish for normal grout though

Raimondi and Kerakoll epoxy floats are nice and light weight to use. A standard float isnt stiff enough to clean off excess epoxy

Maybe not for mosaics but I've found my standard Rubi float more than adequate at spreading and cleaning off excess epoxy for both Fugalite bio and Kerapoxy
