I just dont know whwy my grout is cracking and what is the best way to fix it. i am thinking cauk after the grout has completely dried. i am currently using this product to do my first tile job (back splash in a kitchen). its pretty easy to use, and is forgiving when you need to remove a tile. but if some gets on the wall… thast another story=can get messy.

I have tile experience and used this product for what seemed to be the perfect project, a backsplash. It was to be an in and out install and grout the same day. Forget about it. It cost me 2 more days and the embarrassment of removing the tile and mat to use what I knew was the only way to go. It may be good for small areas with just about no surface irregularity. Even then there is a small amount of flex that will crack grout joints when scrubbed. A fortified grout would help but why chance it. Please don’t waste your money.

I will say the stuff is incredibly sticky. Unroll the back adhesive as slowly as possible, flattening the material out the best you can as you go along. My installation was on a wall and I STRONGLY suggest supporting the bottom row of tiles since they will fall ever so slightly. Since most would be using this product on a counter I would suggest putting the bottom tile on the counter instead of trying to get a grout joint there - otherwise you may get a slightly wavering line b/w tiles.

There is a similar product at Home Depot but it is pricier per square foot and can't be used in showers. If this stuff works I will be thrilled, only wish they carried it in Utah...guess I'll order it offline. I will post follow comments after I have tried it to let you know what I think.
