Selected User Reviews For CGM 500TG Waterproof Tile Grout

Our expectations in terms of ease of use were exceeded
5/5

As soon as we moved in, we noticed that the pool had been neglected and that the grout had mostly been washed away from windows and doors. I paid someone hundreds of dollars to redo the concrete in our pool but instead decided to redo the concrete myself. In order to use the container, we lowered the water level to approximately 6" from the tiles, and everything was done as instructed on the package. I'm really happy with the way our pool looks now! We were so surprised at how easy it was. The following are some tips that we learned while It is important to mix only a small amount at a time as the mixture will get hard very fast, so unless several people assist you, you won't be able to complete the job before the mixture Additionally, we found that using a finger instead of a spatula did the best job of filling in the holes. In order to keep your finger skin from getting cut, wear a thin latex glove, since grout is just like concrete when it comes to cutting through skin. If you want to remove the excess in a hurry, do not delay too long going over the tiles with a sponge. I recommend waiting no longer than an hour, rather than overnight like some other grouts.

NEW UPDATE The situation is not quite as expected
3/5

I used this in my shower and it was excellent. I am updating In spite of following the directions precisely and watching a video on how to achieve the proper consistency, the grout is discolored after only three months as if shampoo/soap has caused this, despite being cleaned every few days and drying after each use with a towel. Furthermore, it seems that mold/mildew is embedded within it and simply cannot be removed from the material. It's not my first time doing this but I'm not sure why it happened but I do believe that everything was done correctly. I dried the shower thoroughly for days and removed all the old grout properly (not my first time. ) As far as I understand, this device is waterproof and does not need to be sealed. However, I may be mistaken. Regardless of the outcome, it looked amazing when it was finished but after all, it'll take me about 3 months to grind out all the grout and replace it with standard shower grout and simply A description of the original review is below This helped me get back on track This is the first time I have tiled my shower. It looks great! There are two reasons as to why this is a superior alternative to standard grout. The seal does not need to be applied because it is waterproof. It is how you mix it that you need to pay attention to. The only thing you have to do is mix it to a pancake like consistency, and it will go on just fine. If you add too much water, it will turn grey, I learned this from grinding out the bad grout on a small section of the floor. Neither will I discuss in detail what happens to grout when it gets too much water on it. It is also imperative that you only mix a little bit at a time and spread it out. It is better not to do anything for longer than 10 minutes so that it doesn't dry too fast. To mix a new batch, I chose to mix the first batch over a 10 minute period, then spread it out over 10 minutes. I would say that you should make it like pancake batter, and then limit how long you take to spread it, and you'll be ok.

Regardless of if this is your first time using it, it is exactly as advertised
5/5

It is incredibly simple to use - the other reviewers were right. Despite the fact that it was my first time grouting tiles, it was a no brainer. It is understandable why other reviewers didn't provide much commentary It is pointless to say anything. If you follow the instructions on the product exactly, you will find that the job will be During the use of it, I You will grout the small (1 inch by 1 inch) white tiles on the Wipe-off easily, forgiving if you make a mistake (before it hardens), does not harden too quickly so you have plenty of time to finish what you started. This shower has been used for more than a month now without any problems. You are also supporting a small business in the United States. Since I only needed a small amount of the giant tub (check the quantity specs), I would like to remind people that if they buy this tub, they may have a lifetime supply.

Even a novice can use this
4/5

Our house was not properly grouted when our tile was installed and I have never been satisfied. Many years ago, it was rerouted for $$$, and I am still not satisfied with the results. The job was done by me over the summer and I am very satisfied with the result (although I am a small woman without any handyman skills at all). It worked for me after following the directions. I like the way it holds up and stays white. My only complaint is that it turns cement gray when it gets.

The ABCs of real estate
5/5

The last time I grouted or rerouted tiles, I did it incorrectly. Upon reading the positive reviews of this product, I bought it. At first, I was hesitant to try to regrout the deck, but after waiting for several weeks for my husband to do it, I took the plunge. It was clear and simple to follow the directions. Those instructions were easy to follow and I followed them to the letter! Grouting with a finger was easy due to the thickness of the paste. There were no special tools that I had to use. Having finished a small section of the shower stall, I felt confident enough to complete the entire enclosure. I am really impressed with the look of the bathroom and so is hubby.

When your tiles are not perfectly level, grouting may not be all that easy
3/5

1) Ceramic tiles are much worse than rectified tiles when they are not rectified. In order for this to happen, it's important to be able to use the round corner of the float to resize it (A moistened finger can even be used to create the gout lines. As I attempted to align grout lines at irregular joints using the rounded corner of rubber floats, I always ended up with a mess. (Hard to explain, but it has something to do with There are hardly any sticky parts and the dough feels like a dough made of corn starch or baking powder. I will mix - no matter how I do it Depending on how much water you use, you may need to add more or less It's the same as before. )br>I will not have the chance to evaluate how well this product will perform over the long term. Having to scrape off all of the shower wall tiling was quite a challenge. Having compared this grout to other locally available grouts I found that this product is the fussiest about repurposing Using your hands. Using a wet finger, the grout can be adjusted only once it is on the tile, much like adjusting silicon caulking. Other grouts, on the other hand, are easy to adjust after dry solidification. It is even possible to repeat the shape more than once. The truth is that potential buyers of this product should consider also how easy it is to apply the grout, not only how good it looks after it has been  (This grout is probably very good after it has dried.

I love it! It is awesome to have grout like this
5/5

Stucco dries very hard and you can add color to the finish to make it the desired color. The original grout looks much better than the new one!.
