I was recommended this grout by a professional bathroom remodeling acquaintance. And I'm sure glad I did. It makes the job a breeze. It's easy to work with and clean up. If it holds up like it's supposed to it will be the perfect grout I've ever used.

TL;DR: totally worth it to not have to use my own discretion regarding mix ratios. easy enough to work and clean, reasonable work time. just mind the cure time if you plan to *use* your bathroom. 1 day for dry, 14 days for wet ready. Easiest part of the job.I'd love to regrout our whole bathroom, but it's our only functioning shower 😅 so that's off the table for now. Paired the silver grout with Marin 2x2 inch square tile in aloe green. Stripped every tile off the backing to re-space at 1/16.. for my very first tile job.Well, the grout was a cake walk. It crams into gaps easy, and I worked it really hard. It dried grittier than I'd like, and I did have to work somewhat fast. But it's holding its color, despite continued work in the bathroom, trimming tiles with an electric metabo 710 die grinder with diamond rotozip 1/4" bit and making a TON of dust.Takes 14 days to cure fully and handle water.. but I was able to set the vanity in after just 1.I'm not putting this stuff through its paces. I'm just a total novice that finished a project semi-decently and hid most of it under a vanity.I just.. wanted to truly patch the holes in our floor.I was super stressed out about grouting cuz its the last step. It wasn't bad, actually. the premix will give you a decent finish even if you totally suck and are just struggling to interpret the directions how you think a normal person would.They tried so hard to describe how wet your sponge should be......anyways, totally worth it to not have to use my own discretion regarding mix ratios.

The product I received was not at all like the creamy consistency described in the many ads and u tube videos I saw prior to purchasing. This product began to dry out immediately upon application and also began to stick to my tools ! ! ! I didn't have the option of returning the product as I had a narrow window of time in which to work. I have an old house with just one shower, and it needed to be re-grouted ASAP. I was only able to complete the job by working in very small areas approx. 2' x2' and forcing the grout directly into the grout lines with a puddy knife. I then had to quickly wash the grout off the tile surfaces. I had done significant research on the product and had high expectations given the manufactures description and some of the user reviews. However, the product that I received was definitely subpar and I don't expect the grout to last as it began to cure as it was being applied. I am not a pro, but I have extensive (50 years) dyi experience in everything from slate roofs to brick foundations. I'm not fast but I do follow instructions well and work carefully (I would go broke in no time if I tried to turn pro). This product, in my opinion, is definitely NOT for diy people. There is NO time to develop technique with this stuff ! ! ! Professionals only ! ! !

This grout was easy to use and looks great. It dries quickly without being hard to use as long as you do it in patches and a rough clean before moving on to the next section. My project was for a penny floor, which means there was very little space in between the “tiles” so if the grout was a bit dryer from being pushed around another section I just had to dampen it with a spray bottle of water a bit. Otherwise, it was easy to use, tbd on how long it holds up but it has been about two months so far and seems great so far with no crumbling or weirdness from bathroom humidity.

Recommendation is to wet the wall and grout lines with a sponge before application. If your Spectraloc 1 is not creamy, add a small amount of water to the bucket and mix, The water on the tiles helps application, and flow of the mixture. Sets up fairly fast, and should be cleaned within 10 minutes, and ends up being really hard. It was easy to work with, and even when hard could be re worked with some water, which is why it raises concerns. Like all grout these days, water application over extended time causes it to break down. I found some clumps on the floor the next day, which I tested for strength. Adding water and working it for 20 to 30 seconds caused it to break down like regular grout. Hoping "epoxy like performance" means that once it sets, and ages, it doesn't break down like the next day sample I tested.Overall, looks good, applies easily, cleans up easy, and is very hard once cured (without water acting on it). Even with that negative, it seems to be better than regular grout, as regular grout breaks down easier. If I had to use a different grout, Prism, or a pure Epoxy grout.

The consistency and color of the grout is perfect. It was easy to use with a marshalltown epoxy grout float from Lowes. Epoxy grout floats are stiffer to help move around the grout if you allow it to harden. If you work in small areas it’s easy to work with. The key is to work in small 12” x 12” areas until you get the timing down on how quickly it hardens. I ended up being able to do 3’x3’ sections at a time but you have to move very fast if you want grout more space before wiping off the grout on the surface of the tiles. Shannon @thetilechick has videos on YouTube and Instagram that shows the process too.If you aren’t familiar with epoxy grout I recommend these tips.I just did a shower and bathroom floor in Spectralock 1. I followed these steps to make it easy and eliminate grout haze.1. Sweep the Tile Floor or wipe off tile area.2. Dip sponge in a bucket of clean water ring it out a little and wipe down the tile area you want to grout. Ring the sponge out in a separate empty bucket.3. Grout a small area with an epoxy grout float.4. Dip sponge slightly in clean water & wipe grout off in a circular motion with just enough pressure to get the grout on the surface of the tile off. Ring out the sponge in the dirty water.5. Wipe area down with a microfiber cloth. Be careful not to push down into the grout line.6. After you do the whole floor I would wipe down the entire floor with clean microfiber cloths to minimize grout haze.

We used this grout for our walk in shower. It was very nice to work with premixed in the bucket. Just open the bucket, remove the plastic seal, and grout away. Make sure you only do very small areas as this does dry very fast and will be difficult to get off if it sets up. I was VERY happy with the grout due to the fact it is stain resistant, waterproof, and does not need to be sealed. Perfect for DIY’ers do to the ease of use and no mixing. Great product!!
