How do you grout with flexible grouts,

Looking for best method to adopt can you help?

Same way as normal grouts.

as above , be careful not to wash of to quick, which grout do you have

Generally I've always found them to be very similar to normal grout. So just work to smallish areas and wash off, then move onto the next area, wash off. And so on.

Avoid getting water into ungrouted joints though - so overlap your areas and never wash off the edge of the area you're cleaning until you've started to grout the area next to it (if that makes any sense at all).

The Issue I have is Bal have great instructions on their packaging, Mapei have no instructions on their packaging, I have been grouting for 12 years and never had a problem before until I used Mapei 132 Beige, Mapei have concluded after a site visit that I had cleaned off with to much water on the sponge, i was given a lesson on how to do it correctly. What makes me angry is the fact that there are no instructions printed on the product. They assume that professionals and DIY's alike know there way of grouting. I'm going to challenge Mapei on this matter to ensure that no one else gets caught out.
Would love to know if any one else has been caught out like this and how they got on with correcting the patchy colour that has been left.

There have been several threads on here about this issue with ultra colour plus, I agree that the instructions are as clear as mud and if the product is so sensitive, then why aren't they printed on the packaging? Do mapei expect everyone who uses their grout to do a training course? Sore subject with me incase you haven't guessed! 🙂

It's time to fight back, would love to hear your story

Did what I normally do grouting for the last 12 years. Have you ever been told to use a almost dry sponge (any body got a mangle:lol🙂 to wipe off (charcoal would be fun)

I have got to use Mapei 132 Beige tomorrow on porcelain floor tiles.

I'll keep my fingers crossed

Ring them first and ask how they would grout it then follow their instructions. water is your enemy when using this grout. Hope it works for you
