I am looking for field information on grouts.
Of course, I can look it up in a catalog but practical experience is invaluable.

Do you prefer one grout over another and why? Any bad experience?

I need a grout with settling time not exceeding 48hrs provided that long term consistency is not compromised.

Any information will be appreciated.

David,
That's a pretty general question. Does it need to be non-shrink grout, ferrous or non-ferrous, chemical resistant, certain psi strength....

I haven't dealt with grouts for years, but back in my construction days, we always liked Master Builder for standard nsg's and Escoweld for epoxy grout.

Escoweld has some good epoxy stuff that might meet your cure times. It's not cheap, but works well.

My advice is to call Jim Mosebrook with Bill Spitzer & Associates. He's in Houston and has many years and much experience with grout and grouting. 713 937-8977.

Used some epirez product a couple of christmas eves ago and it worked like a charm, cured in 24 hours at around 20 deg C, without acclerant, and poured like cream. Not hard to mix and has a tough glossy finish. Depends on your application but if there is any adverse environmental factors and life is a factor I would go epoxy .
