TEC AccuColor - Premium Sanded Grout - Enhanced Color-Consistent, Wear-Resistant, Shrink-Resistant Joint Filler for use with Tile - 25 LB - 982 Summer Wheat Color

Received and nicely packaged but I had to return it because it was sanded. I needed unsanded grout. I do like using TEC brand, it is better than what is sold at retail stores.

This was the 3rd product I purchased after the first 2 failed (pre-mixed, ready to use grout from Home Depot & a tile grout patch product that came in a tube from Ace Hardware).3rd try's a charm, as they say!I ripped out caulking that someone did OVER broken, damaged grout in the shower (rental).Was left with a gap between the shower floor and shower wall that was larger than 1/8", smaller than 1/4" - leaving me with the dilemma of whether to use sanded or non-sanded grout.Answer: Sanded grout works best.History of repair:Using pre-mixed first - the finished project looked GREAT! It was easy to use, easy to apply, easy to clean up - seemed to dry perfectly. I applied sealer - waited to use shower a total of 2 weeks - in an effort to be extra sure everything was cured and ready for use.Within 3 shower uses, the grout was soft (could press/indent/cut through easily), flaking off - it was a mess. Removed those areas - re-grouted them. Had the SAME problem again. At this point, we had been without a shower for 3 weeks. So - I removed the softened areas, and patched with the grout repair that comes in a tube (from Ace Hardware). That actually worked really well... but... then more areas started to soften, flake, chip - and I knew I had to take everything out and start over.Spoke with a family member who is in construction and he said never to use pre-mixed grout ..Purchased this product, AccuColor by TEC.I've never used grout that had to be mixed from a powder, because I've been fairly lazy + lucky that the premixed has usually worked when we've used it.1) I shook up the grout container very well before opening - due to the comment by a reviewer who said the color flakes settle at the bottom and to mix well first.2) Put a small amount of water in a styrofoam cup (1/4 c)3) Added grout mix slowly - until I reached the consistency of mayonnaise/peanut butter (somewhere in between).4) Followed the usual instructions for grout projects.5) End result: Hardened grout - looks nice/clean, etc.6) Waited 48 hrs to seal it.**Have NOT used the shower yet - which will be the real test... and so I will update this review in a week or two.**Giving 4 stars because the company does NOT include any instructions on the container or in the packaging. Instructions on how to open the &*%$#'ing container are on the lid - which you absolutely cannot see or barely detect - and that needs a magnifying glass to read. I have no idea what the company's recommendation is for time to wait before getting wet/using. :(.

Price, I used it for a tile repair.

Tec products are the best always have used them always will best grout in the business 👍

Grout repair ceramic tile in shower

I thought it would be pre mixed and not in powder form, but it was not too difficult to add water to get the needed consistency to apply

I purchased this to repair the grout around my bathtub. For the most part it worked exactly as expected. I mixed a small amount of the powder with some water and used a disposable plastic trowel to clean and fill the gaps. I was impatient but after a few hours it was dry to the touch.Only downside is that there were no instructions so on my first try I added way too much water. I added some more of the powder until it seemed right and continued. However, since improper mixing and proportions can lead to a weaker seal it would have been nice to have some usage guide. That said, it just took a minute to search on Google for the process.
