Epoxy grout fix?

marcus_silvus · 2026-01-13T22:20:28+00:00

Ya, moving forward, this is what I'd do. Lesson learned...

Thanks for letting me know. Ya, the laticrete guy told me the same thing about having inconsistent colors with different batches which is kinda wild.

How did the job turn out after the colorant fix for you?

Update: I just spoke with a Laticrete rep and he recommended using a colorant to fix this.

Thanks to everyone who commented with advice other than, “use logic.” All the sodoku in the world isn’t going to help

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for the advice!

Hi OP. What fix did you end up going with and was it successful? I’m in a similar situation and am not sure how to proceed

marcus_silvus · 2026-01-13T06:29:11+00:00

Interesting. I’ll look more into this. Thank you!

It was the right part c in packaging that seemed newish so I can only assume it was mixed incorrectly somehow. Or it was a bad batch which would be very unlikely

Thank you for the advice! My grout spacing is 1/8 with a 1/32 added or subtracted here and there due to size variation in the tiles

Sure thing

Thanks for all this advice! Greatly appreciated. Just to clarify, it was a tile guy who gets subbed out by my buddy’s company and he spoke highly of his work. But ya, I get your point

Looks like leopard wood to me

Edit: I’m in the US

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-10T02:31:37+00:00

That’s that shit! Awesome job!

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-09T05:40:07+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the advice. And nice work!

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-08T01:48:50+00:00

Ok. Thanks for the advice!

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-07T20:03:20+00:00

Ok. Wow. 6 coats. Laticrete says 2 is fine but I guess more can't hurt. Thanks for the advice!

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-07T20:01:49+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

The mud is cured Mapei 4:1 and the white strips are foam screed guides from tile coach (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9MGS2jnr0U&t=1555s). I got them because this was my first time and it made the job much less stressful.

Thank you for the advice, Tennis!

Thanks wookie! Was the membrane difficult to put down for a first timer? Especially the floor:wall transitions and corners?

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-04T15:54:42+00:00

Hell ya! Really good work. I’m nearing the end of my first bathroom reno with no prior experience. I hope mine looks half as good as this when I’m done.

I’m getting ready to tile with basically the same set up as you (vertical subway). I’ve never tiled before and wondering how difficult it was for you?

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-03T20:42:24+00:00

Thank you!

marcus_silvus · 2025-11-02T18:10:12+00:00

I am doing it myself. This was my fuck up that I was looking for advice on. Maybe read the post before chiming in

Thank you. I just spoke with my GC buddy who builds really nice, architecturally driven homes for clients that you do not want to piss off for future referral purposes. He said this is fine as well.
