Finish feel of epoxy grout

[noobiediyer]

Can anyone confirm if the finish feel of epoxy grout will feel smooth like silicone or will it feel more rough like standard cement grout? Specifically, I was interested in Kerakoll Fugalite Bio 2 Part Epoxy Grout

Mine's slightly gritty, not like silicon. It was also a pig to clean off. Don't think I'll be using it again.

Is this the Kerakoll epoxy grout or some other epoxy grout you're referring to?

My understanding was that this epoxy grout would be smooth to the touch like silicone.

Sorry, think I might have used Kerapoxy, had to look up the tub... not the kerakoll.

I've used fugalite bio- not like silicone at all. I'd say similar to traditional grout.

I had no real issues using it. Just buy a lot of cellulose sponges- toolstation do some good cheap ones. This is effective as well, to use the day after to clean up any bits that you might miss:

Definitely worth the extra time and effort using epoxy in my opinion...

I have used the Kerapoxy 3 times. It is difficult to clean/polish, but the finish is very smooth. I last used it for small glass mosaic tiles on a splash back behind a hob. It had the advantage of not being stained buy cooking fats.

In no way was it gritty. The tub had the activator in it, the finish was smooth.
