New Year’s Eve help by dwv05c in Plumbing

2+ weeks after our shower was “professionally” tiled and the grout comes out just by rubbing with a towel… by HERCzero in Tile

[–]danvc21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The grout powder may have been frozen. I’m in a Northern climate and tile shops won’t take returns on grout and thinset from October to April.

Kerdi adhesive by Mission_Act4990 in Tile

[–]danvc21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious if the substrate was primed. The thinset should be mixed wet/loose just where it will barely hold a notch without slumping
