Easy Grout...what can go wrong.....???

Using easy grout slurry for the first time.
The link to the video detailing how we built this patio is here:

When using this product mix two tubs into a gorilla bucket add a small amount of pva glue blend with a mixer and then trowel into joints then brush off excess

[@cirobernardone5721]

Would have have gone with black mortar as matches the fence (see before you’ve pointed)) I’ll stand corrected if when plants go in looks fantastic 😊 The sloping fence messes with my feng shui. Don’t know an alternative though,one for the fencers.

[@stuartscott1679]

The first time I used that grout, I was shitting myself. I've sinced calmed down, and I've done 110 m2 it was hard work 😊

[@mrabuilders6723]

Mate I feel your squeaky bum...if you pardon the expression!

[@santfekuss]

Made it look like hard work .....

[@mrabuilders6723]

It was!

[@nomad9296]

Great demo. Would you consider using a mortar gun to fill the joints then the hand squeegee 👍

[@annagriffiths717]

My builder really struggling with this as have a lot of drops on raised patio and keeps running away 🙈 he’s never used before but rep coming out Monday hopefully to give advice. Watched a lot of videos but think my space is a bit unique as not many sides here 🙈 🤞🏻 I can find someone to finish the job.

[@mrabuilders6723]

Hello Anna, if it's running out of the sides of the joints then you're supposed to simply tape them over with gaffa tape to create a dam, pour the stuff, let it go off then remove the tape. Hope this helps, good luck.

[@annagriffiths717]

@@mrabuilders6723 appreciate speedy response, builder has gone around with a bit of concrete mix to Butt the joints , easy grout rep hopefully coming on Monday but looks like I need to look for another builder to finish. My builder is 71 and doesn’t want to mess it up at this stage 🙈 sure I’ll find someone 👍🏻

[@mrabuilders6723]

No worries at all. Hope it all goes ok.

[@brianhewitt8618]

always a squeaky bum time when doing this, looks like a mortar jointing gun might work well with the grout, nice work fellas

[@mrabuilders6723]

Cheers Brian, appreciate your comment. I've used similar products to this but not this particular one and never in that heat and direct sunlight, but there's no way that, living in England, I'm going to wait for the weather to get worse before I do a job! Have a great day mate.

[@mrabuilders6723]

If memory serves I used 5mm spacers. I'll check and get back to you if I'm wrong.

Nice job chaps, how long did you wait before you began to pressure was it off pal?

[@user-lc5zz4bf6n]

Very helpful video. How many tubs of Easygrout did you use for that patio or did the 1 tub (3 packs ) cover it and what was its size?

[@MRK1973]

How did you power wash it but not dilute the mixture between the slabs and it doesn’t act like grout because it’s just to diluted if you know what I mean ? Thanks

[@matthewt4347]

Used it for the first time today it goes off fast and my pressure washer packed in

[@mrabuilders6723]

Oh no! Did it end up ok?

[@jeffsmith2144]

Can you use a squeegy mop for a final tile clean?

[@mrabuilders6723]

Hello Jeff, hope you're well mate. Is that a sponge headed thing? The mop, not you! Haha! If so then you certainly can, in fact it'll give the best results. If it's a proper "mop mop" if you no what I mean then it's best you don't, it'll leave marks/lines in your grout. Hope that helps?

You LOOK good! I am writing this a year later, when you look a bit long in the tooth!

What can go wrong fast forward 4 years mins all cracked

[@mrabuilders6723]

Hello Daniel, thank you for watching. Why would that happen?

[@RogueTrooper80]

Cementitious grouts are water permeable and after a few hard winters and freezing cycles grout can crack

[@markhoulding1938]

Wondering if it would be easier using a grouting gun lads

[@mrabuilders6723]

Hello Mark, hope you're well. It'll be too loose a mix for a mortar gun. The plunger will pass straight through it and compress the water out of it. That's the problem with mortar guns, the mortar mix has to be absolutely perfect for them to work effectively.

[@markhoulding1938]

Lol 😂 did I hear you say put in the comments how to pronounce Porcelain 😂😂

[@mrabuilders6723]

Haha! Yes you did! What side of the fence do you reside? "Porcelane", "Porceline" or "Porcelyn"?

Wouldn't risk the grinder try small wood chisel

[@mrabuilders6723]

No chance! That's far more risky.

[@brianknowles1727]

I thought I read the wetter the better.

[@mrabuilders6723]

Hello Brian, hope you're well. I have read that too regarding other products but not this particular one. This product has very specific instructions detailing the exact amount of water to use. Now, what the difference is between this product and others, I don't now. Maybe none! So it may very well work being wetter the better but I'm sure you know that as soon as you stray away from the manufacturers specifications then you could be in a world of trouble! Have a great new year mate.
