How To Apply Epoxy Grout | DIY

[@trouse5046]

Info from technical white paper on epoxy grout. When cleaning the grouted floor, be sure to use plenty of cold water (to prevent quick set up) mixed with a few drops of Dawn dish soap. It is critical to remove all haze immediately. Dawn works well because it contains surfactants that have an affinity to the epoxy resident contained in both the epoxy and the water used to clean up the haze. This allows the haze to bond with the water and wash away easily with a cleanup sponge and microfiber towel. It is extremely difficult to remove haze otherwise. The grout cures unlike cement grout, which can be adversely affected by using too much water. You cannot use too much of this soapy solution cleaning epoxy grout.

[@MM-lw6ox]

I wish he would reply to the questions. There are some great ones that have gone unanswered. Primarily about how the soap might effect the integrity of the areas you DO want it to stay.

[@chriscolameco6850]

You’re using too much soap

[@MM-lw6ox]

@@chriscolameco6850 lol what?

[@OldMarius-gn5kk]

yhe effect is probably very little.

[@9856CB]

First you rub SOAP into the grout area and then you apply the grout. Why not pour used motor oil into the grout. This makes no sense.

[@landrewmackinnon4888]

Used your video to relieve some of my stress for doing my frist grout, which was an epoxy grout. I was really nervous cause the guys at the shop said it was really hard. There was a plan A and a plan B and so much prep and hard work, even had a partner to hand me things like a physician. Then I began. Added the grout and then BAM. All plans out the window and worked faster than I ever have. This stuff doesn't want to spread and really doesn't come of with the sponge very easily. In the end though, success! With how easy you made this look, I know you are a pro!

Same question

[@alexisgagnon2946]

My ceramic guy told me to never use any soap or anything else when mixing cement or epoxy

[@tonygoshive785]

Great tip with wetting the floor first never done that before and I had a very hard time removing it one time. One thing I’d say is always always wear gloves with epoxy grout. I used bare hands and I had epoxy burn for 1 week.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

that happens for folks who don't grout a lot for a living. Cheers!

[@orisisseibert3507]

Not necessary wetting the floor... If you use a power saw to cut cement board (Durock or Hardie Backer) the dust will clog pores. Hardie backer has dust on it from the factory. A wet mixed thinset can help resolve this problem, (wet mortar causes problems on walls.) Not much experience with epoxy as a mortar, but i know the surface needs to be dry.

[@nicesharkbaby9668]

hey jeff, i just joined and have a question about this video. is this method of grout removal ( the V shape into grout ) sufficient for regrouting a tile shower floor or should old grout be removed completely before new epoxy grout?

[@Joe.Hebrews]

6:52 I hope this helps.

[@wendywendy8028]

"To minimize epoxy haze, wipe the tile down with a solution of water and a few drops of Dawn® dish soap prior to grouting. This solution acts as a grout release to help prevent resin from sticking to dry tile, thereby making it easier to fill the grout joints and minimizing the residue on the face of the tile. The use of a microfiber towel to remove the final grout film during clean-up will greatly reduce the amount of haze. "

[@drunkboomer7772]

ty Wendy. Someone actually knows. But keeping the grout ice cold in a bucket of ice is the real key. Kind of surprised to see the host does not know that.

Warm soapy water should be used to clean the excess epoxy grout. Other types of epoxy tile grout could be used that is modified to be easily cleaned and applied, I personally use Weber.epox easy

[@davidsterling1363]

If you google epoxy grout dish soap you will find a technical white paper put out by custom building products. The file name is "epoxy_grout_wp102.pdf". They specifically talk about using Dawn as a release agent. Plus some tips on extending pot life. (freezer, small clumps etc) Don't get too stuck in the weeds about epoxy grout bonding if its a new tile job. You are basically packing glue that turns into a rock in your grout lines. If you are regrouting with some tiny thin grout lines then you might have issues and need to be a bit more judicious with the soap. Do NOT let the water just dry on your tile. They glue remnants are suspended in the water. Go buy a pack of paper towels and dry it off. Your tile should feel like a brand new tile. If it doesnt then rewash and rewash until it does. You cant overwater an epoxy grout joint. Just be careful of scrubbing the lines, they will stay soft and you can damage them. I am not a professional just someone who has used it before and seen the pitfalls and found solutions (read: others solutions on the web) that worked.

I use soap and water mixed on the soapy side and then coat surfaces I want to keep protected when pouring concrete . I just soap surfaces with a brush and let dry and then the splatter of concrete I let dry and then when its dry it brushes right off because of the barrier it creates.

We are installing a ceramic tile backsplash in kitchen (brick face-sized) using Epoxy Elite EPO which it says works both as adhesive and grout, ordered on-line from Home Depot. Can the mixed product be preserved? The 11 lb can says 60 minutes, but seems a bit vague. It says "mixture life 60 minutes". Does that mean all must be used up in 60 minutes, or just that it will harden to surface on 60 minutes and the rest can be preserved in an airtight container?

Cracked grout line means there's movement, nothing stops you from regrouting, but it won't solve the original problem. If you're talking about an inside corner crack, that's because grout never belong there

@@doublepoil grout can crack for various reasons and isn't caused just from movement. Improperly installed or mixed grout can cause it to be weak and crack prematurely ie mixed wrong or not packed all the way in the joint

Also, you said there is a special grout for doing tiles with 16th inch grout lines. I am redoing the grout in such tiles and would like to know what type of grout to use? Finally, when I redo the tile corner or tile to expoxy shower pan, I think I saw in one of your videos that you would regrout these joints and then finish over with a bead of silicone. Is that correct? I see some who just use only the silicone bead in these joints.

Hi Jeff, just viewed your tutorial. Great video. I've never used epoxy grout so like many others this is new to me. I do have some questions: 1) does the unused portion grout harden if not used can it be reused the next day to continue the job. 2) Can small portions of the grout and epoxy be mixed and used instead of mixing the entire contents. Getting ready to repair/replace the grout on my home floor therefore any feedback is appreciated. Any comments from viewers that have used this product also welcomed. Thanks.

[@Watcher89-wp6gb]

1) No, once it's set it naturally can't be re-used. 2) yes, but you have to be very, very, very careful to maintain the exact same hardner to epoxy ratio

That v groove is all you need to add new grout? I get epoxy can be added onto existing grout and doesn't need as much depth in the joint as traditional cement based grout but just making sure.

So I've been renovating my bathroom. And your videos have been INVALUABLE, so thanks for that first. Now the question: I didn't know the difference between sanded and unsanded grout until right now. So I've used an UNsanded grout on my floor now. The gaps are small 1/8th inch and i've installed it on cement board that's screwed and mortared to the subfloor so it should be stable... i think. IS there a risk that the grout will crack in the short term?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That all depends on the tile size the product you used to install the temp and how clean it was and if you used water before installing the tile and what kind of deflection you will get. In short maybe. If it does grab some epoxy and it will be a thing of the past. Cheers!

From a professional. Skip the pour soap directly on tile. Soap mixed with epoxy is a terrible idea. If that was the case they would have a part a part C. LOL Try putting the smaller epoxy bucket in a larger bucket of ice next time. Doubles if not triples working time and clean up is the same finishing with a drag of wet micro cloth dipped in soapy water. Much Much larger areas can be done and you don't have to rush.
