Customer Reviews for Custom Building Products Fusion Pro #52 Tobacco Brown 1 gal. Single Component Grout

Found chunks of blue dye in the pail that were not mixed in properly. I had to go back and rework some of the grout lines where the blue showed. At over $70 a pop I'd think they could do a better job mixing the colors.

I encountered some difficulties using this grout. The product started to break apart during application. However, I was putting too much product on the grout float. It is important to read the instructions carefully, especially if you are a DIYer. I found a useful tip online - before grouting, clean & wax each tile first, which not only reduced the cleanup time but also gave the tiles a glossy finish. For me, Fusion Pro is still worth using compared to others due to its many benefits.

Beautiful neutral grey color. Worked perfectly with our slate tile floors! My husband was impressed with how easy it was to apply too. The final product is lovely.

I am not sure why but my grout in the wettest parts of the shower floor is coming out. it is soft and mushy like plumbers putty. I let it sit for several weeks before use. I called the company and they are no help. I google the issue and found several people have this issue. the install was done by a contractor. I will have to scrap out all the Fusion pro and replace with something better.

This was perfect lightest grey to go with my white and gray quartz counters . Also. it went with white, marble and glass backsplash tile much nicer, more softer than if I were to use white grout

I typically only write reviews when something is awesome. I bought this product and disregarded other reviewers assuming they had misused the product. They did not, went slow, only did 2 square feet of my newly laid marble wall tile, sponge, clean water and STILL ended up with haze. We tried buffing it didn’t help. Haze remover did shine them up kind of but did not bring back detail/color. See pics for difference in color, vibrancy of tiles grouted with normal grout on main wall vs skinny strip.

This product was easy to work with and it worked out well fast and efficient. The finished product looked beautiful. Very easy to work with.

I used this a year ago when grouting stone in my shower. I followed all directions, they say it's easy. I found that it sets up very quickly, luckily I did small areas. And it's very difficult to clean up, lots of wiping! Then 2 days later it was still soft, I waited about a week. I thought either the product is no good or I screwed up by wiping to much. So here is the main point, it dried super hard, looks great, no mold issues, no staining issues.For stone you must seal before grouting.

Easy to apply and clean up if you take the time to have several sponges to go over and over. Like anything else, it takes a little bit of effort and practice to get the hang of. I don't see how anyone could not like this product if they have ever grouted before just for the advantages compared to regular grout

Clean this thing is a nightmare. I have used this product for a while and every time I have to apply it I tell myself that I should charge extra because cleaning this thing is a nightmare when applying it and then the Haze too. Anyway I just wanted to express my frustration while I'm applying this thing in a shower knowing that I'm wasting time and money.

the grout does not work in lines easy and remains soft after hours and clumps during working. leaves the worst staining on tiles. i followed directions on sponge times and still had bad experience

You have to be patient, doing only 8-10 square feet of tile at a time. Watch some YouTube videos first, and don’t believe the nay-sayers.

This grout goes on easily and quickly. No mixing necessary, just dip out of bucket and apply. Only do small sections and watch “how to” video online, because it dries quickly. My best results were doing 18”x18” area and wipe down with clean wet sponges. Then wipe haze away with dry cloth staying out of grout lines. You don’t need to seal this grout. Very nice finish, just be sure to clean throughly.

Finish was like oatmeal, not smooth at all. My contractor had to cut the grout out and use a different brand. Not easy to work will never use again

This product is not easy to use, it’s a pain to clean and is labor intensive. I would pick any other product. And to add to it. Takes 7 days to cure!?!? Stains horribly!

I am 70 years old and have zero experience in bathroom remodeling, I had to change the rotten floor in my bathroom and I installed ceramics on the floor and walls, due to inexperience some of the tiles left me with different separations, I needed a grout with a sealant to avoid problems . I found FUSION PRO and took a chance. I was afraid of the work time because I get tired quickly so to begin with I grouted a 12-inch tile, I analyzed it and I didn't like cleaning it with water. By accident I left a part uncleaned and with a paper towel I managed to clean it. I gave up the sponge, the water and the fiber towel, I started the real work with a two-inch steel trowel to embed the grouting in the cracks as compact as possible, I only had about two inches of dirt left on each tile of the two that I joined With the grout, after three tiles were ready, I would stop and clean the residue by rubbing the dirty part with a sheet of kitchen paper towel: EXCELLENT RESULT. on the 5 by 8 foot bathroom floor I used less than a quart of Fusion Pro. It took me longer to get the grout into the groove than it did to clean.

Must work fast, less than 5 minutes to apply and wash it off. Very happy with the result.

Used fusion pro on a bathroom remodel. Make sure you work small areas at a time for clean up. Looks great!

We have purchased a total of 3 buckets of grout in color Rolling Fog trying to get a consistent color. all 3 have been completely different colors, quite obvious different colors. We followed the guide on the bucket as to how much we were going to need for our project and only purchased 1 bucket to begin with. Well we realized over halfway through the project that 1 bucket wasn't enough so I went to the store and purchased another one. They no longer sell this color in premix in the store so I purchased the powder in the same color, same number, etc. so in theory all we had to do was add water. Wrong! It was almost a charcoal gray and no where close to the original bucket. I went online and ordered a bucket of the premixed in the exact same color and it is also significantly darker than the original. Now we have 3/4 of our project done to now have to go over the entire thing again in a different grout to have the same color. Have yet to find another Rolling Fog the same color.

I'm contractor. I have used this for the ease of installation and lack of mess. It's perfect for backsplashes. But I used it on two shower floors in 2020 and was called back to both jobs within 8 months because the grout had failed. It doesn't cure hard like the powder mix. It's been a costly nightmare dealing with replacing this grout. I will never use it in a shower again. I Also used it on a tile deck, and it didn't last 6 months.

Simple to use. Followed the instructions and our project turned out great! Do wish there were a smaller size as we still have about half a tub left but the product worked very well.

Super easy to use grout and cleanup was a breeze. Left no have on my glass mosaics or my glazed ceramic tiles. I’ve used Prism before, but think I like Fusion Pro better for ease of use. Hopefully this stuff will last stain free.

1st time using this product and couldn't be happier. Premixed and easy to apply. I'm grouting large format tiles 24 x 48 so I taped off Grout lines applied Grout as directed, hit once or twice with wet sponge to clean lines and then simply removed tape. No over spread or messy smearing. Using paper towel to remove haze after sponge saves cleaning microfiber cloth repeatedly

Easy for this beginner to use. The color match was right on

Quality Product, looks amazing!

Hired a contractor to install porcelain tile flooring in kitchen and bath and this is the brand he insisted upon--said it's the best and we will have no problems with it.

I purchased the Fusion Pro for the guys to use when installing our tile--both for the outdoor tile on the porch and for the backsplash tile walls in our kitchen. It is supposedly more stain resistant and flexible than ordinary sanded grout (flexibility is important for outdoor tile). The installers grumbled about the choice; it dries faster than normal grout and must therefore be worked in small sections--applying grout then washing the tile clean. They said it took them much more time to install than normal grout would have required. And for the backsplash wall, they said the Fusion would "sag" in the vertical position, so only their most experienced technician was allowed to install that grout. We did have one small section where the grout sagged, creating an appearance of holes in that grout. Otherwise, it looks great! Now we await the years to learn more about staining, especially behind the stove. Note: the information about the grout says that sealer must NOT be applied to this grout as it may damage the polymer in the grout.

Easy to work with. Goes on smoothly. I love that’s stain resistant. Time will tell. I picked the artic white for a white gloss porcelain tile in the bathroom. It blended in with the tile color nicely. Fresh and clean look that will stand the trends that comes and goes with other colorful grout. I would use the same grout for future projects. It’s pricy compared to the powder grout you have to mix but it’s worth it! Clean up was also a breeze. No haze on my new porcelain tiles.

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.
