Evil grout!!!

[merlecollins]

Been doing a job recently with a load of Porcelanosa
Anyway finished tiling a bathroom yesterday and went in this morning to grout it, so far so good
This particular room is quite small and has no windows and the only lighting the builder has on site is mammoth 500W halogen floodlightsNow I thought these were hard enough to work with when I was fixing the tiles - I must have lost a stone in sweat:mad2:
But that was nothing compared to when I started to grout
Colorstuck Rapid - EVIL.....:devil:
Mixed the small bag provided and then knocked it back up again after a quick cuppa Started spreading it on gloss finish wall tiles and I'm not joking when I say it was setting as it hit the tiles:yikes:What made it worse the Borneo tiles have a rounded, bevelled edge so the grout was just caking and drying on contact - NIGHTMARE!!-Eventually got it perfect but what a job!!
Let this be a lesson to all - never use this grout under the intense heat of a halogen lamp:lol:
Am stopping by the tool supplier over the weekend for some decent lighting

i know were ya coming from , borneo,s do old the grout not so bad with a normal grout. have you used butech rapid set grout , you have to leave it for about 25 mins before you attemp to wash off other wise if u wash 2 early its a swine to polish off
