Grouting a Shower with Laticrete Permacolor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- Laticrete makes some of the best grouts on the market 😊 All have a very fine aggregate, easy to use, & color consistency is awesome 👍
Be sure to view the previous tutorial on caulking before grouting 👍 • Caulk before Tile Grout
It makes this process so much easier 😊
Laticrete Permacolor High Performance Grout (Twilight Blue) - amzn.to/3Ioswa2
.8-.9 quarts of water per 8lb bag
Mix for 1 minute
Let sit for 5
Mix another minute
Ready to grout 👊
Grout mixing paddle - amzn.to/3wJxhZz
Be sure sponge is only damp
Too much water in joints will ruin & wash out the grout joint
Ardex Sponges - amzn.to/49KVUn5
Troxell Grout Float - amzn.to/3v9Clpn
Excess grout will easily remove later
Focus on packing and fully filling all joints 👍
This is dependent on your environment
Grout will set up much faster in hot & dry environments
Typically you need to wait 20-25 minutes before wiping off excess grout
Test grout joints with a dry finger
Grout should be moldable without pulling grout out of joint
Test a small area first
Use a damp sponge to wipe off excess grout
Sponge must be damp, excess water will wash out grout

You mentioned caulking with silicon before grouting, why don't you do the same for the ceiling lines?
Always enjoy your videos by the way... Thanks.
You could, and I usually do but this tile has so many joints that I felt it to be somewhat problematic. Watch next video as I demonstrate my thought process on it
What do u do with the leftover caulk. I find I have a bunch of leftover color matched caulk.
Yeah it is a bit wasteful, I hold onto for as long as I can. But after 6 months I pitch it
Mix by hand never my drill, the drill heats up the grout
