Seeing how the water acts on the tile surface I think they must have applied some sealant to the tiles beforehand. Which is a good practice before doing epoxy grouting on tiles like that, BUT they should have made that clear. Working with ardex products daily I can tell you that leaving epoxy grout on unsealed tiles like that, for one hour you'll have a HUGE problem.

can confirm. one of my contractors had to wet sand epoxy off a porcelain tile. he even cleaned everything pretty well, but shoulda done a final wash with clean water. tiny amounts left on the surface but a horrible haze/residue

Agreed. I followed the process like in the tutorial, but the tiles were still tacky the next day.

epoxy grout is much harder to apply , and short work time ,(professional tile setter for 20 years)
