I used this exact grout for my bathroom shower floor (mainly for its water resistant properties) I wish I would have used it on the walls as well. Highly recommend and it doesn’t require maintenance like regular grout does

Actually you can use an epoxy solvent up to around 3 days after grouting to remove any haze or accidental streaks. I use a product called 'Attack' which is very strong and dissolves nitrile gloves in seconds. However, you can use quite a few other agents including Goo Gone. Attack is really only needed in extreme cases. As for large format files (aka 24 inch) I actually tape them using the widest 3M Blue Fine Line tape (kinda like plastic). If you're careful, the cleanup is zero. Obviously with tiny tiles... that approach isn't going to work. I have used epoxy in quite a variety of situations - even an outdoor barbeque area and several showers. The end result, provided you're on a very solid substrate, is fantastic. Not a substitute for expansion lines, of course, where you'll still want a traditional grout caulk.

Thanks for the video. What tools are best used to get the grout into small grout lines and corners between the floor tiles and the wall tiles? I’m redoing my shower.

Great job...I Love, Love, Love this!!!!

BEAUTIFUL bathroom, thank you for sharing!

Were you standing on the freshly grouted floor while you did the walls? How long did you have to wait to do that?

[hidvisioncanada]

Hi Andrew, I have a small gap between the knock down ceiling and the tiles. How do you go about filling the gap without getting grout on the ceiling? Also, do you grout the vertical shower corners or caulk them? Thanks.

Hi there! What color of the Mapei Kerapoxy cq did you use? I read a lot of reviews about the Mapei line of grouts drying much lighter than the original color from initial mixing. Would you say that was the case for this epoxy grout? Thanks!

[gloriacarina]

I know you have to work quickly once mixed, but how quickly?? is an hour for the whole shower too long?? Can someone give me a time frame ?? I've installed tile and grout before, I think I can swing it. As along as I dont have to do this within 15 min.

Did you have any issues with the epoxy grout setting up/hardening in the pail while you were working?

[jackhargreaves]

Amazing job. You are a master. But it confirmed my suspicion that using epoxy would be too hard for me. Pity…

[hayleybeckman]

Thanks for sharing. I was told do you epoxy in showers to help with mold or moisture build up. Thanks for the confidence to try this! Great work!

[bridgetbean]

Can I do this directly overtop standard/gritty/sandy grout I have without removing it or scouring it? It’s recessed from the stone tiles, I really just want to slap epoxy grout right over it 😅

What grout is good for a polished mosaic tile floor very lost?

[Johnnylove]

Did you grout the bottom expansion joint before caulking? Im at that point in my project.

[KellyJelly]

The bathroom turned out amazing! Would you use the epoxy grout if you had the choice again? Did its future pros outweigh the price and labor cons?

[jasminecommercemusic]

Thank you for such an informative video. I guess my question would be why you didn’t use white epoxy grout to match the tiles?

[dmples]

Anyway to remove excess grout if u happen to mess up? (If the grout dries on you)

[grilledchickenwrap]

Hi.. so for the 4 sides of the shower floor and wall you just filled it with silicone ? Is it good enough to seal out water from getting in ?

[nathand]

Hello! I Just had a builder finish my bathroom but this same epoxy grout they used has a rough surface and not smooth. Is this supposed to have a smooth finish?
