| Anybody ever heard of using pre-mixed thinset adhesive as grout on bathroom wall tile? My wife seems to think doing this is okay. I've never heard of it and figured that thinset was made for bonding the tiles to the backer board and that grout was made for grouting? I've done two other (floor) tile jobs and grout worked just fine for "grouting". Enquiring minds want to know......Thanks in advance. |

Thanks guys...I suspected as much and just spent three days with a dremel tool removing the thinset that was used as grout. My wife was told by a contractor that thinset would work just fine as a grouting compound. It looks like the thinset was too thick to really get into the gaps between the tiles and ended up looking like crap. I just got it all cleaned out and regrouted yesterday and it looks 100% better. Now I'm off to home depot get some grout sealer. Thanks again! |
