Using Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA (Fine Aggregate) is a little trickier than other grouts, but we think that it is viable for beginners as long as directions are closely followed. We used this grout for the shower walls, shower floor, and bathroom floor. We like that the fine aggregate fills in between the tiles without leaving a gritty texture. Mapei sells a variety of color grouts as well as matching caulk. This particular grout is fast-setting, so it is helpful to mix smaller batches and only grout one section at a time. Ultracolor Plus FA is designed with tight enough pores that no sealing is required, however a sealant can be used for additional stain resistance.

We chose the color "Charcoal" in the shower and "Timberwolf" on the bathroom floor.

TEMPERATURE IS MOST IMPORTANT ~ any temps over 75 degrees is going to reduce the application time to drying haze will be approximately 15 minutes ~ Mix small amounts pretty loose and work small areas like 2' x' 3' ~ I also suggest using "distilled water" so the manufacture cannot say that ''''''''' there may be chemicals in your water making it dry extremely fast'''' Work Fast in high temp situations and clean tools immediately WITH EACH MIX ~ [within 15 minutes] are they will be toast!! The F/A brand does make great smooth seams when done properly....

So did the 3:1 ratio work well for you? I was planning on doing 1lb to 100ml but your ratio beats having to weigh.

Yes. It was a good workable consistency. It looks too dry immediately after combining, but reaches the right texture after mixing.
