Fusion Pro #52 Tobacco Brown 1 Gal. Single Component Grout

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We worked so hard and cautious to remove an ugly outdated green shower only to be let down by this product on our shower pan.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!

I used Ice Blue. The color is beautiful. I did it on the feature area of a kitchen backsplash so I didn't use much. It was easy to apply, I watched the video beforehand. It came out well. I had to spend time cleaning before it dried. I used glass tile which may be easier to clean.

Used on a kitchen backsplash with subway tile. No complaints. As other reviews have stated you need to work small areas and clean up well. Looks great. Will repost as time goes by.

The worst grout I’ve ever used! I’ve had chicken soups that were less watery. This stuff is horrible to use, messy, watery, sets too quickly and really useless for doing walls. Should be removed off the shelves because it’s that bad!

This is great to work with. Pop the lid, give it a stir and you’re ready to use. My only advice is apply it in small areas then clean, otherwise it’s more difficult to clean over large areas.

First time grouter here- like first time EVER. After starting our new kitchen, we needed grout for our subway tile backsplash. We went with fusion pro because I did not want to mix something ourselves and risk not having a even color. I read so many mixed reviews- I was nervous. BUT, I followed the directions to the T and read tons of online reviews. It came out great with NO HAZE afterwards and heres what we did: - as soon as you star the grout, only do a FEW TILES at a time. We have the large subway tiles and worked on a maybe 6 tile space and no longer than 2 minutes. You dont want that stuff sitting. Put it on, rub it in and wipe off RIGHT AWAY. - Wiped off with damp sponges. 4 of them each time. Then after the sponges, damp mirco fiber clothes a few times. - Then moved on to the next step I think you really need patience and a little OCD to use this stuff- but its SO worth it. We LOVE the color and how it finished. Take your time- dont rush. Dont do huge areas. And clean the tiled area over and over after before moving on.

My contractor used this grout for the first time on our shower project. The cost was less than a grout with sealant sold separately so it seemed like a value. It isn't. It erodes, cracks, and doesn't get the job done for our shower. Now we're going to have to end up tearing out the shower floor and seeing how much water has gotten underneath from the grout failing. And all the grout in the other areas is cracking too and needs to be replaced. So far all Custom has done is given my contractor the runaround and refused to cover anything. Guess who gets to pay the bill? ME.

Bought this particular product for a few reasons, #1 it doesn't need sealing every few years like traditional grout, #2 the color is constant so if i have to do it in multiple batches it will still be the same instead of me adding color and having to match #3 its pre mixed so i don’t have to guess or have different constancies between batches. Before applying, #1 rule READ THE DIRECTIONS. This grout sets up much differently than normal grout (4 minutes). The Key points, wet the surrounding tiles before hand with a damp towel, grout a section of tile for no more than 4 minutes (small area) then immediately start wiping. I used a digital kitchen timer set to 3 minutes every time so that i knew that i could finish up a specific area in the remaining minute. Again, READ THE DIRECTIONS! There is also a video you can watch which is useful. I felt it went on rather easily, and had no problems i did not have to use any grout release, as i wiped everything clean after each section. I did however wipe with a dry towel after the moist microfiber towel to take off any wet haze. I also used 2 buckets of water, one for the sponge to wipe after grouting and the other for the microfiber towel, cleaner is better especially to avoid hazing. This product is a sanded grout with a sort of a colored water poof epoxy so its a bit of a hybrid grout. My application was 12 x 24 inch tiles with 3/16 spacers and it worked out great. As a first time tiler and grouter, i found it easy to use, maybe because i was so cautious and followed the directions. also i don't have the experience with regular grout to compare, but i like the idea of not having to seal the grout every year or two, cause i know I'd get lazy and not reseal it every year.

The product a little tricky at first. It is very important to damp the floor and will make easier to spread. Fusion Pro is a good product and recommend it to anyone.
