Tile grout question
Does anyone have experience using the spectralock epoxy grout? How much more difficult is it to use than regular grout? We have used traditional polyblend grout in the past and it has worked fine. The durability and stain resistance of the epoxy grouts sound good,but are they worth the extra expense and time to install? We are doing two bathroom floors and one tub/shower surround.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I used spectralock in our bathroom shower surround and floor.
Works great, easy to use, read the instructions.
Make sure you remove the haze or it will stay.
After sponging I went back over with paper towels. Seemed to help more than the sponge.
1 person job, helps keep it clean.
Mix small batches at first till you get used to how it lays down.
End results were fantastic. 4 years, no maintenance, still looks new.

I will probably go back with a traditional grout vs using the epoxy. The reviews for the epoxy are really good as far as durability,but it is probably more than I want to work with as far as installation right now. Thanks again for the responses.
