Fusion Pro #380 Haystack 1 Gal. Single Component Grout

This product will stain everything if you do not get every bit of it off all surfaces within the 4 min window. I was installing in my backsplash, and I have white quartz counters, after 30 min they were completely stained by the grout drops. A magic eraser got it off, but it took a lot of work!! Otherwise it was fine, but cover EVERYTHING walls, floors, appliances, this stuff stains quickly.

First time using this grout on my floors and shower remodel but it works fantastic. First thing I do is mix 1 tablespoon of dawn dishwashing soap to 32 ounces of water in a bucket with a clean, new sponge. Swipe the floor with it (maybe 2-4 sq ft, workable area that you can reach without having to move your knees is my rule of thumb). Apply the grout out of the bucket and work with a float at 45 degree angles to push it into the lines. Then get a set of wringed out sponges and regular water and work in swirls to start washing the area and pushing grout into the lines even more. After most of the extra is gone, take sponges and gently, gently swipe at 45 degree angles the area, flipping the sponge over each time and get multiple sponges to work the area. After that is relatively clean on swipes (takes 2-3 times usually), take wringed out microfiber towels and carefully drag the tail end of the towel at 45 degree angles to get the excess grout off, flip the towel over during each pass (you get 4 passes per towel/sponge during the cleaning process). After that I gently take a wadded up towel and pass over the area to make sure I get it all up. This has work flawlessly for me and leaves no mess behind. I've been going over porcelain tile and its been amazing to work with. In the shower, I applied the grout, and waited a minimum of 10 days before using the shower, that ensures a proper curing time so the grout won't wash out of the floor grout lines. Cleanup of the shower has been easy, just a light brushing or wipe from a towel and the grout cleans up from the usual shower scum and dirt accumulation. Floors have been in for 3 years and the shower has been completed and used for a year with 0 issues.

This is a great product and I recommend it. Super easy to use, just make sure to clean as you go

Beautiful as I expected. I love it.

Great product

No sealing required, easy to work with and clean up

Great material if you’ve used something comparable like bondo or use a caulking/piping bag (or reloadable caulk gun tube)... but it’s notorious for shrinking. Once it shrinks you have to refill the low spots- so it’s at least simple: reapply before it’s cure (should be a no brainer). But for the price and coverage- this stuff is really expensive and I needed like 15 buckets for my house to account for loss. If your tile person isn’t experienced in this material you may need to cut the coverage by 25-50% and add time to your project. You can’t really do half a house and come back with a sponge like traditional grout- you get a 4x4 area and or a room at best before you break out the sponge.

If you are doing your own grouting and take your time you will love this product, but if you are a contractor where "time is money" probably not so much. I do two to three small sections (maybe 3'×3' at most) and then change out my cleanup water and sponge. One picture is my kitchen which I am using the Charcoal color and the other is my bathroom I did earlier last year in Delorean Gray. Highly recommend if you have patience you won't be disappointed!!

We love this product. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy.

We worked so hard and cautious to remove an ugly outdated green shower only to be let down by this product on our shower pan. We used river rock and sealed it after installing with mastic and again after grouting. We let it dry several days in between and then another couple weeks before actually using the shower while the shower tile was finished. To our dissappointment, the grout is actually absorbing the water like a sponge and the entire floor needs redone at our cost and will be challenging to remove We definitely do not recommend and dissapointed Home Depot would continue to carry an inferior product having now seen so many other troubling reviews!
