You are a brave man Dave, using Epoxy having very little experience........but then again mate, fitting a wetroom as a first job is full on in itself. Well done matey :thumbsup:
 
MG - It was .. erm.. OK.

Very messy doing the walls, hopefully easier on the floor. I was very time concious so it was a bit stressfull. Also the epoxy went off quite quickly in the tub I was using. I split it 50/50. 5kg did the 3 walls in the pic.

It wasnt hard to emulsify at all, which was good.

The hardest part was dressing the joints as it went off so quickly once packed in.

Plus did I say it was VERY messy! The washboy came in to its own also!

I got epoxy all over myself! on my face.. arrrgh not my face

still on my nose this AM at work!

Blocko, thanks mucker 🙂
 
I take it the floor is concrete? Epoxy grout shouldnt be used on wooded floors because it isnt flexible and will crack.

cheers

Hi there

The substrate is 18mm ply, with 6mm marmox backer boards fixed on top with keraflex and screws. Underfloor heating mats on top of this and a flexible fibre self levelling compound to cover it all..

Is this ok?!?
 
I would call Mapei to check. Ardex told me epoxy grout cant be used on wooden floors, its not flexible.
It doesnt hurt to double check.
