white bal grout turning yellow in patches

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

yes used to see this a lot about twenty five years ago around windows anywhere where the adhesive was packed out or more than 6mm, the substrate was non porous
 
ask the customer what they have used to clean the tiles ( if they have ),cant see it being anything to do with the adhesive if you have used bucket adhesive a lot on here dont use it but i use it most of the time without any problems at,, all get in touch with bal technical and they should do a test on the adhesive for you

Grouting before the tubbed adhesive has set can result in the moisture trying to still escape through a now grouted joint and will stain grout.

As Pete said , due to using tubbed adhesive too thick. I have seen it a few times.

If it was the customer cleaning with bleach , then it would be uniform grout discolouration.

Most of your posts , show me where. ? Tad OTT IMO
 
sorry Brian i am not having a go at anyone but i have mainly been tiling floors over the last 20 years but i used to get asked by several companies to have a look at their tiling problems with bal grout the most common problem was moisture coming out of the grout from behind due to thick adhesive or on top of glazed tiles so not drying before it was grouted Pete

Exactly what I was on about Pete but who are we to say anything else
 
Dave re read your posts ,you are not the only person on this forum that is a Tiler,everybody has there own adhesives which they use i dont use bal now but i mostly use ready mixed and have no problems asi have said and i dont come on here to say to others dont use this and dont use that, you are very strong in your opinions on here but im afraid you cant always be right,so stop spitting your dummy out when people say something,bucket adhesive if no good, wouldnt be on the market simple as that but that wasnt the question asked
