Epoxy grout definitely has a learning curve, but honestly, once you get the hang of it, it's a game changer. I tackled it during my kitchen backsplash project—yeah, the first few tiles were stressful (and messy!), but by the end, it wasn't too bad. The durability is unmatched, especially if you're worried about leaks or mold in wet areas. I'd say practice on a small test area first... might just save your sanity later.

Couldn't agree more with this. Did you find the epoxy grout cleanup as tricky as I did? I remember my first bathroom project—thought I'd done everything right, but missed some residue spots that hardened overnight. Had to spend hours scraping it off carefully without damaging the tile. Definitely worth the hassle for durability, though. Curious if anyone's tried epoxy grout with textured or mosaic tiles... does it complicate things even more?
Epoxy grout with mosaics can definitely be tricky. I once used it on a textured pebble shower floor, and cleanup was a nightmare... spent ages scrubbing residue from all those tiny crevices. Still, the end result looked amazing and held up great over time.
Totally agree, epoxy grout looks fantastic but man, those tiny crevices are killer. Had a similar experience restoring an old mosaic tile shower in my historic home—spent hours trying to get the haze off. But honestly, it's worth the hassle... water-tight seal and zero leaks since. Plus, the color hasn't faded at all over the years, still looks freshly done. Just gotta mentally prep yourself for that cleanup marathon beforehand.
Epoxy grout definitely has its perks, but honestly, regular cement-based grout with a good sealer can hold up pretty well too. Did my shower about 6 years ago—no leaks yet and cleanup was way less of a headache. Guess it depends how much patience you have...
