Great videos, but just one thing how would pouring be more effective in filling voids compared to floating where you are able to apply more pressure which in theory would be a more compacted joint?
Great work once again Johnny boy! After watching a few of your videos I started using easy grout. So easy to use but you definitely need the Pedalo wash bucket!
Hi John Yes if your doing it all the time the pedlo system will save your back and knees , which is a must as well as being quicker John, again great info and top tips from a proper landscaper , have a good week mate and stay safe 👍
@@GreentopLandscapes yes mate off for Easter job just finished and we stsrt on Tuesday, otherwise the lads and I would be in just because of the weather and being able to , its a funny trade working all hours just to beat the weather 😀( or try and ) take it easy and look forward to Saturdays live mate 👍👍
Hi John, seen a few of your videos using the easy grout, looks good we’re going to give it a try on our next porcelain job. Noticed you always use the dark grey colour any reason for this? Have you tried any of the other colours? Thanks
I’ve just used a flowpoint fine grade on a porcelain job, it still doesn’t look completely like a smooth grout but it’s well on the way there compared to the standard smooth charcoal flowpoint
Exact reason I decided against the flow point. Looks a fantastic hard wearing product. But it's gritty appearance put me off and made me choose the easygrout instead
@@makemefamous1232 ye can’t knock it’s strength and ease of use, I think the more it’s discussed in the industry the more they’ll gear it to private sector use not just the heavy duty comical sector jobs like town centre paving and cobble streets
Don't know if this is a daft question, is there much difference between wall tanking slurry mix and primer slurry mix? I've got tanking mix left over and looking to use it up if it has multiple uses?
Great work as always, you make it look easy! Would you recommend a slurry grout for a limestone patio? Or would you say a traditional jointing compound would be better for limestone? Thanks in advance
Looks great! 👍🏻 I’m going to be using Easygrout on my porcelain patio in a few weeks so have been watching your videos for some guidance. That lower patio where you used the more slurry consistency, was that with the manufacturers recommendation of 900ml water per 5kg grout - and as a beginner, would you recommend that I follow this guideline? Additionally, how many tubs did you get through for that whole patio, just to give me a gage of how much to buy (my patio is an area of 35m2)? Any feedback is much appreciated! 👍🏻 Cheers
Hey John, thanks for all the great advice its encouraged me to takle about 20m² porcelain job at home. Quick question, I have left 20mm gap between house and porcelain as you have suggested in previous videos but what do you fill this gap with? The easy grout or somthing else?
We had a nightmare with the manhole covers. Ended up using a multitool to cut the grout out to free them! We tried the tape for the steps too and it just wouldn't stick. I'm going to have to go back and try again!
Just laid a similar patio. I was cleaning it all the time when laying it. Only way I could get out the garden, was to walk over it. Got a couple of cement stains. Want to get rid before grouting. Any tips? Thank you

A slurry grout just fills the voids that maybe left in the bedding mortar making it a more complete unit
Looks great as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great to see you passing on your knowledge through evolution of using the product over the years
Thanks for watching! and why not Berry we are only leasing it and we should all share.
Thanks for video.
Pleasure Dave hope they help
Great work jonnny boy, attention to detail as always 👌
Thanks 👍 I was thinking of you Barry

Hi Kev, as it tends to dry lighter, how wide are your joints mate?
Great videos, should you have gone over the manhole cover? wont it be difficult to get it back up after the grout has cured?
no its good Sam
Have you used flow point before?
Looks like its much easier to use as you can simply hose it off after the 15 minute cure time
No to be honest mate but seen it in place and it looks a bit grainy
I’ve just used a flowpoint fine grade on a porcelain job, it still doesn’t look completely like a smooth grout but it’s well on the way there compared to the standard smooth charcoal flowpoint

@@richwallwin having looked at both products the flow point looks much easier to use it comes in 25kg bags and its cheaper too!

Not sure mate it maybe a good idea to call their technical department
Is using dust instead of sharp sand ok to lay porcelain slabs
Dust can be unstable a bit but Sharp is better
Great work as always, you make it look easy! Would you recommend a slurry grout for a limestone patio? Or would you say a traditional jointing compound would be better for limestone? Thanks in advance
Thanks Stephen for watching, I am not sure about Limestone as it will absorb moisture rapidly and it maybe better if you send Azpects a message.
Looks great! 👍🏻

I use a little less water and you can actually use a jug to pour it in to reduce the mess
Johnny boy, where did you get your squeegee that moves the grout from?
Its a raimondi pedalo system mate from tilers tools

@omm is a big gap for grout
@@GreentopLandscapes Thanks for the reply John. I'll pop some of the smaller stones from the surrounding gravel I think then. Should do the job. 👍🏻
Hi Johny, could this be used on Brazilian Black Slate rather than Easy Point, the colour and finish is far better?
Not really Ash mate, i have done it but its not recommended by the manufacturer as it drys to quick I just took my time but it was difficult.
@@GreentopLandscapes thanks for taking the time to respond 👍🏻

Good luck mate
Push the grout in then immediately lift the carrier box out and give it a wipe with sponge pop back in and jobs a gooden.

Thank you
its a pain mate try some White vinegar
Just a little tip for your nice trainers, wear coveralls on them so you don't ruin them;)
Thank you, had them a long time now lol
no jack or kyle anymore mate?
No mate Both new jobs
First view 👌
Well done
