Addertooth Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Polyblend sanded charcoal grey grout. It is polymer modified for durability. ckreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addertooth Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am just as impatient as you, to see this done Bosco. My wife doesn't work this weekend, and may demand equal time. This may make any real progress difficult. On the positive side, SWMBO, really wants to see what it will look like with tile on as well. I fear she has ulterior motives. I caught her thumbing through some choices for kitchen backsplash tile the other day. If you can tile a Kamado, you can tile anything. It is probably the most challenging surface to do, changing radius's in two axis. Ben S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Will this grout have some flexibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addertooth Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yes, some. Where you really need flexibility is in the thinset. The thinset is latex modified to prevent tiles falling off or cracking. It may get an additional acrylic modifier. kamado John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks, I figured you had thought of that part, but I was curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addertooth Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Here is the thinset which will be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addertooth Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 The stucco removal, down to the base refractory has begun. After about an hour, this is where it is at. My hands are numb and useless pegs (from the vibration) at this point. Looks like a break is in order. I briefly tried using a wire wheel, but the vibration was ten times worse than using a cement grinding wheel. The goal is to take it down to the bare refractory cement, so the thinset has a great surface to bond with. The thinset will also correct for any minor divots in the surface. I am really looking forward to seeing those beautiful blue tiles on it. ckreef, Rak73, danielc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
