epoxy grout

How do you remove epoxy grout from the grout lines? It sets like concrete, a normal grout remover won\\\'t touch it. TIA.

That is the beauty of epoxy. Not to be used without careful consideration of when you might want to remove it.

Hard graft, a lot of mess, and damaged tiles are the order of the day. A suitable abrasive disk will help.

As it's mechanical removal, you may find this useful

It is available from various mail order tool suppliers such as ********* power tools, devon.

It is a vibrating tool and is one of the best purchases I have made. It is possible to remove the grout in relative safety compared to a rotating disc cutter, and diamond impregnated blades are available, though they may not be the best for the job.

Use dust extraction as epoxy resins are not healthy.

Masona, it's a diy version of the tools used for removing plaster casts from limbs.

(Admin, what about another forum "Surgery"?

)

It oscillates and has various sawing, sanding, and grinding cutters and a scraper. Good for replacing glazing, and for cutting access holes in floors directly above the centres of joists.

Were not allowed to advertise, it's a well known power tool supplier in Devon. Begins with A. There are several other companies who sell it as well.

I know what oilman saying is true but isn't putting website address on the forum post having the same effect as advertising like Screwfit ?

I wouldn't say it's really advertising, just advising other folks of companies we've had good dealings with. The 1st time Screwfix bu**er up an order of mine I'll be telling you all !!!!
