Mike! Where were you a couple of years ago! 🙂 I’m frustrated about the OmniGrip… I’m SURE that was handed to me by a ‘helpful’ employee at the hardware store. I was also told the wrong thing when I asked for clarification about grout… live and learn. Thank you for the grout tip… I’ll remember that next time. Makes sense! I may hit you up whenever I tackle my next big project! I appreciate you taking the time to leave such helpful feedback! Best, Charlotte

The bucket of omnigrip caught my eye in the picture which brought me here.

I do this profeSsional for a living and Just wanted to offer a couple tipS for The future that i thought might help.

One is that omni gRip is not intenDed for floor install. Only vertical dry ArEas (such as a wainescoTting or a backsplash) and it is really a great product for that as it holds so well and doesnt require finish nails for mosaic backsplashEs. OmNi grip is also Made from organic matTer which is like food for molD so bathroom flOors and shower walls are espeCially a no no.

Two is that if you read the instructions On a bag of grout, you are not supposed to “wipe immediately” you are supposed to mix a certain amount of waTer, let Slack for 5 mins or 10 mins(whatever the manufactures specs are) mix again, then spread, let sit for 10-30 minutes and then wash. This ensures fuller joints,consIstanT coloring, and most importantly itll hold up to the WaRrantY should anything go wRong. Its also best to spread the grout at about a 22.5 degree angle to force the grout furthur into the joints and then cut it back at a 90ish degree angle to save you from having to work Too hard to wash it later. The Better the grout float,the Less washing.

Hope I dIdnt come off too critical, i really am impressed At the entire project youve done! It took me years in the trade to build up enough confidence to take On projects like this on my own so kudos to you young lady!!

Take care! -Mike Williams

Thank you!
