Today is the BIG day for SGA

[Mikey P]

My first job with Super Grout Additive..

4 tub enclosures and a kitchen counter.
2 colors, one huge gap and all sorts of fun...

$450k home near Tahoe that looks like it was built by a 11th grade wood shop class.

Over an hour of working time
Very easy to clean up
Fills/hides hairlines exceptionally
Waaaay more forgiving and formable than silicone

What and how did you do it?

Did you just replace what was missing or did you chip or remove more than what was already missing?

How did you get the color so close?

 

[Mikey P]

I removed loose pieces and or filled cracks, which works much better than "just" grout as SGA is thick and gooey.

I used a plastic grout chart to match colors

Thats cool. Keep posting, still trying to get wifey into doing that..

I was told by someone that any grout line less than a quarter inch wide, don't use sanded grout. Use epoxy. Sanded grout is too weak at that thickness.

 

[Mikey P]

sga is epoxy...

 

[KevinL]

I noticed, but you are adding it to sanded grout for strength, right?

 

[Mikey P]

Ill trust Cameron and Justin over "someone"....

Random thoughts..

The directions call for six ounces of dry grout to 3 ounces of mixed epoxy, that's super thick and a pita to load into the syringe. 4 ounces of grout was much easier to work with on my second color.

Finger application works well too if just doing small random patches

Bring a garbagae bag, you'll be tossing lots of rags.

Cotton worked about as well as microfiber

Keep plastic color charts of the popular brands of grout in your area


Charge atleast $60 for materials if you'll be supplying the grout and SGA

Seal the grout before repairing


I'll be doing demos at future RMH cleanings...

Looks good I did a couple bathtubs with caulking what a mess. I felt like I couldn’t get the shticky off for days!

 

[SamIam]

On mine I had to use a razor blade to cut out all the moldy caulk, the refill with a mold resistant caulk.
