White Palace grout on 2mm porc joints

[Cranbrook]

I used palace grout a long time ago I found it ok but since then I use Mapei ultracolor grout for nearly all my jobs.
Have you tried mixing it a bit stiffer?

Mapei UC is my normal grout.. But yep, mixed it stiffer, same result. The finish was so shallow in the joint that I give it a second grouting today and its looking passable now, but not the finish I like . Safe to say ill be steering clear of Palace grouts in future

Do you leave the 3000 grout in for half an hour or so before commencing cleaning Andy?

Yes mate, if you wash it off to soon it will wash out the joints.....
