Patchy Grout

[Andy Tiler]

Hi just got off the phone with Homelux. They say it's fine to use dispersion adhesive with their product between the matting and the tiles and they indicated it shouldn't affect drying times??

What do homelux know!!! They only sell the stuff.. Bunch of idiots
It's just not dry that's the problem croft

I could buy that, but the dry area is affected in the same way!

In the dry area the background is sucking aswell!! So it will dry quicker!

Got you, but the dry area should have no patches in it as it was left for 24 hrs as per the instructions on the adhesive. The tiles are only 100x200 so I would expect that adhesive to be bone dry there in that time. Like I said before, we're not doing anything different here to other installs and it's a problem unique to this installation.

It is a bit cold at the moment croft?
To be honest mate I don't use tubbed stuff anymore!! All I can think of is its not dry.. Why don't you colour the grout??

Hi, sounds like a good fix to me if it's permanent. What product would you suggest?

Colouring the grout may work but as all things like this try a test before hand.
I can say that I have used the colourants before to great affect

I've only used Bal Microban twice. Both times resulted in patchy grout, and i haven't gone near it since.. On the odd occasions that customers have supplied it, i've made them take it back.

Bal are apparently discontinuing this range/or using a different formulae.
