Thanks Shaun. It was also my first time using it and will only use it from here on out. Just a tip get the white scotch brite pads for doing your second wash. If you follow directions you should be fine. Good luck with the project and share a photo or two when it’s done. I would love to see it.
Steven Purser Thanks for the sub. Good luck with the project. Would love to know how it turns out. And a big thank you for your service to our country.👍
I'm putting some SLpro down on my tile job soon. Worried about the pot life being only 80 mins. I'll crank the thermostat down to 68. Atlanta GA hot and humid here. I'm also worried about yellowing of the grout that comes with Bromine fading on epoxy grouts over 5 to 10 years. Hopefully won't happen with Laticrete products. Great vid!
Thanks for the compliment. After 3 years installed it’s still bright white with now yellowing. I had to turn my heat off when I did mine to prolong the working time. If you do have to stop you can put it in the freezer. It slows the curing process.
@@letsdothis1677 I'm hoping the bright white is a lite gray as some of the forums and installers suggest. I've heard the sauterne is more of a white, and the bright white is lite gray, which would be ideal for our tile install.
Thank you for your video. Is the finish of the epoxy grout a smooth finish, sanded finish, or finely sanded grout? I can't see the finish too well from the video. Your response is much appreciated!
It’s not super glossy. It’s just the bright white color. I’m pretty sure they have a flatter white available. Best thing to do is look at their color chart where it’s sold at.
Alex S no I used the small buckets of the epoxy mix. I bought 2 to do a 9x7 floor but ended up 2 tile short so I had to buy a 3rd one. Only took about 10 minutes to spread one bucket and had plenty of working time. However I did mine when it was cold out and the room was about 65 degrees.
Your tile and grout installation look outstanding. Lippage can be extREMELY ugly and is made WAY WORSE when grout and tile colors contrast to such a degree that yours do. BUT.....your installation looks very flat with very consistent joints and looks like no film. Great job man.
SomeDumUsrName thanks for the compliment. It’s been almost a year and the grout still looks great. No discoloring at all. As far as lippage, I was a little concerned with the layout of splitting the tiles for that reason. I used the DEP leveling wedges to help get an even floor.
@@letsdothis1677 well it's great that you were so lucky on tile flatness from the mfr.. Make sure to check your tiles for flatness next time be cause you just lucked out this time. If the tile is not perfect flat - which most arent (they tend to bend a little toward one end) - then the tile-flattening systems won't even work. That's the reason that the industry standard for setting tile like this is to not split them into two but instead into thirds and to keep adjacent joints in the outer third of the length. In other words, don't run adjacent tiles more than 1/3 past each other. Check some tiles out next time you're in the box stores - or anywhere for that matter - and look down the edge length of some of the tiles. You'd be surprises how much many of them are curled. Again....great job.
SomeDumUsrName yes I did luck out. It helped that I didn’t buy cheap tile and during the layout I made sure there was no crowning between any tiles before the install. I was super happy with the turnout as this was my first time job.
