Hi there,
My daughter is re-doing her bathroom and, because of mould problems she's had in the past, has asked me if I could use epoxy grout (the room is being almost completely tiled). My only past experience of epoxy grout has been on kitchen work surfaces. That was a good few years ago and was a pretty messy business, but has proved worthwhile; I gather that things have moved on and that it's probably not quite so messy/tedious these days!
Given that epoxy grout seems to still have pretty limited available, I can but presume that it is not being used very much in normal domestic situations. Does this mean that modern 'anti-mould' cement-based grouts are actually regarded as adequate in this situation? In other words, do you think I should be trying to persuade my daughter that 'traditional grout' would be OK?
Another issue is that the logistics of this work is such that the tiling/grouting will not all be done at the same time. What little epoxy grout I can find seems only to come in relatively large quantities these days - does anyone know if smallish quantities (say 1 kg) are available from anywhere and/or does anyone have experience of trying to mix less than the entire batch (something not recommended by manufacturers)?
Kind Regards, John
