FORMULA BREAKDOWN
Litokol Epoxy grout - mixing ratios simplified:
Component A - 93.7 parts by weight, Component B - 6.3 parts by weight (total = 100)
A kitchen scale is great to measure out the grout
If you calculate that you need 100 grams of grout, weigh out 93.7 grams Part A, and 6.3 grams Part B
If you need, for example, 145 grams of grout, you will need:
(145/100) x 93.7 Part A, (i.e 1.45 x 93.7 = 135.8 grams) and
(145/100) x 6.3 Part B, (i.e 1.45 x 6.3 = 9.2 grams)

Absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to try this product! Thanks Peter for sharing about this product. Love all your videos! Your the best!💙Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thankyou so much Elaine, appreciate that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. :)
Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for the video Peter! I think i was the one who asked if you can see the mesh through it... lol Love that I didn't have to try it out myself! I will be using this grout for the first time this week! Nervous but excited!
Thankyou very much, that's fabulous its a great grout, I think you may have been the person that asked about the mesh and translucent grout, hence this video. :) I cant find your previous comment about using thinset or silicone. I cant speak specifically about your job because there are variables I cannot see but for me I would be using thinset and not silicone to adhere mesh to cement sheet. I use a notched trowel scraper that stops me applying to much thinset, the notches come in different depths. :)
Fantastic advice Thankyou
Thankyou so much Pauline appreciate that. Thankyou for watching. :)
So useful!
Thankyou so much and thanks for watching. 😊
Very nice!
Thankyou so much. 😊
Thank you
My pleasure Imad and thankyou. :)
I found it rather easy to use but it was a challenge to get the small sticky granules to stop spreading onto glass as you tried to polish/clean up. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
Thankyou very much Mary. You may not have used enough water l am not sure but appreciate the feedback and Thankyou for watching. 😊
Hi Peter, thanks for introducing this product.
I have a wooden tray doing mosaic with vitreous tiles. I'm going to use this Grout.
Now my question is does it stain the wood while I'm grouting like normal sanded Grout, as the edge of tray is totally wood.
Thanks
Thankyou and my pleasure. I would think you would need to cover the wood because it is epoxy that you are dealing with. Definitely read the manufactures technical data sheet before purchasing, its available on the manufactures website and retailers website, its very easy to read. Or you can give distributor a call, Tile Doctor, if you're in the USA. :)
Thank you for your educational videos! Would you know if this product can be purchased in smaller quantities (I’m in US) ? Thank you again!
Thankyou very much Pattie, it is available in smaller quantity in the US, check out tile doctor. 😊
Thanks for the vidoe: I had my installer leave the resideu overnight (yes, I know) and now I have a dirty look/haze form this left on my glass tile (backsplash). I woudl gretaly appreciate your advice on how to REMOVE it? Do I have to use a stripper and grout again? or any easier solutions? thanks a bunch
You would need to contact Litokol or your nearest reseller to seek professional advice on this and quite quickly. If its a residue you have left on then you may still be able to remove the haze if its in a 24 hour period. Best of luck. :)
Are you taking what you need out of the big tub and catalyzing epoxy packet? If so, how do you seal the epoxy so it doesn't dry out? I have a 2ft x 3ft tiled garden window bottom I'd like to use this on, is it hard to get the grout to stay in the channels? Thank you in advance for your answers! I'm rewatching the first video you did on this, so that answered my question about storing the epoxy. The only size bucket we can buy here in the states is, 5.5 or 11 lbs.
Thankyou so much. l find the Litokol translucent grout is a lot easier to keep in the grout lines than sanded grout. Yes l just take out what l need out of part a and part b, the catalyst which l think is part b l just put the original packet into a double ziplock bag but the original videos will show you that. 😊
If I missed this, sorry… should the transient grout be used for indoor only? I did see someone asking about s garden window, not sure in indoor or out.
This grout is fine inside or outside. With any product it’s good to read the technical data sheets because they contain all the important information on what the product can do and also it’s limitations. They are very easy to read and available on the manufactures website. Thankyou for watching. 😊
Can this be used on outdoor stepping stones? If so would it also seal the stone?
You need to choose the right job for the Litokol Translucent epoxy grout, its a specialized product, I would think for stepping stones it would be a waste. Always read the technical data sheet which is on the manufactures website and is very easy to read if you are unsure of any product. They will tell you what the product can and cannot do and what it can be used for. This is what I do and takes out any guesswork. :)
looks great how long does it take to dry?
That’s really dependant on the environment it’s in but l always allow 24hrs for it to cure. If it’s in a traffic area then longer time may be needed to reach mechanical strength. 😊
I have used a wooden base foe mosaic -will Evo bond to wood ?
The Litokol Translucent Epoxy Grout isn't an adhesive. I believe the coloured Litokol Epoxy Grouts can be used as an adhesive and grout, I have no idea if they will bond to wood. You would need to read the technical data sheet which is on the Litokol website and very easy to read. Thanks for watching. :)
Can this be used on ceramic and porcelain tiles as well?
It works best with semi transparent glass or glass because it allows the light to shine through and the grout takes on the surrounding glass tessera colours. :)
Hi Peter, just a suggestion for people that havent used it before would be to measure their area to work out how many grams they would need?
Yes that info was in the original video and went into detail about it. 😊
Have you ever used epoxy grout on glass on glass projects? I’m making a transom for daughter and I also wonder what it looks like on the back of the glass on glass.
I have used it on a sample GOG, if you look at my video on translucent grout and grout bleed that will probably help you. When using it, it gives a frosted glass look which I would have thought would look a lot less impactful on a piece if you compare it to the normal grouts on the market even from the back. Have a look at my other translucent grout videos so you have a better understanding of the product especially the first one I posted. :)
Thank you for the step by step instructions. I am looking forward to working with translucent grout.
Could a mesh be used for a GOG mosaic ?
Thankyou so much, it’s a great product. Don’t use mesh on a GOG as you will see it as the glass is semi transparently. 😊
@@TreasuryRoadwould love to see instructional video of indirect method of mosaic installation for a GOG.
@@kirtisarvesh Im not sure if that would be the best option for a GOG using face tape, I think it would slow the adhesive curing process down considerably. :)
@@kirtisarvesh I don't think using face tape is the best option for the indirect method for a GOG as it would probably slow the curing process of the adhesive considerably. :)
For a GOG stained glass mosaic window installation, I am looking for expert guidance. Can I reach out to you on Facebook directly?
What do you think of using it on an uneven surface. In other words, I am using different heights of glass and thinking that this won't be so obvious of the different layers as regular grout. Your thoughts please.
If you go to my video Translucent Grout Tutorial, I have used crockery which is uneven and will most likely show you how the grout looks with uneven pieces. Bear in mind this grout isn't suited for crockery, its best used on glass because the grout reflects the surrounding glass colours. How well it looks I suppose is dependent on the different heights of the glass and the type of glass used. :)
Yes I am using glass of uneven surfaces and heights. I think I will do a small sample board and try it on there first. And thank you for answering me so quickly. It's not everyday people like you who are so busy actually answer these questions. Thank you again, I am grateful. There is no one teaching this medium in my area and it is people like you that pass on their wisdom through you tube. I really appreciate it!
@@terribohn7588May I ask how it worked out for you?
@@DespiteMyself7 it worked out great! I may never use regular grout again.
Exactly what I wanted to hear! Now if it were just priced the same as regular grout... 😂
There is mosaic art work we have done but unfortunately went wrong the tile white glue appear over the mosaic and its joint can translucent colour grout hide the glue colour
I doubt it very much because the translucent grout is not a solid colour. What glue did you use?
@@TreasuryRoad Mapei keralastic T white colour and it popup over the mosaic any solution to fix this
l dint know l haven’t used that one. l would suggest giving the company a call and ask their technical department. 😊
@@TreasuryRoad Okay thank you.
Its translucent grout.. ? Im sorry, i might blind, but it’s gray.. I worked with this product before, and no matter what color was the glass tile, the grout is always gray.. you can save a lot of money and headaches if you just use a regular or epoxy gray grout..
If you use glass, preferably semi transparent glass up to 3mm grout lines the Litokol Translucent works as it should. If you use anything else other than glass then the grout takes on a frosted look. There have been a lot of people using it and if it didn't work then there would be a lot of unhappy people, the manufacture would be wrong as well as myself. This is clearly only your finding which goes against everyone else and my experience with it.
That is NOT translucent.
What is it then?
Sorry, this grout most definitely IS translucent… it does allow light through. You can’t see through it. Transparent allows clear vision, opaque (normal cement grout) allows no light through. Peter is completely correct.
Oh that means translucent,, how tricky. Well it doesn't even allow light. Unless you get the light from the glassy mosaics. Or maybe there would be some tiny light if it was against a glass door, not upon a cement wall. 😾
@@TreasuryRoad I want glassy transparent.
Obviously if it is on an opaque substrate, the result will appear opaque. However, if you apply it to a clear (glass or acrylic) substrate, then there is much more light streaming through. Watch Peter’s first Litokol video, where he does glass on glass.
