OK. So my grout was shabby. So I scraped as much of it up and regrouted.
It didn't harden it dried, but did not get rock hard. You could scrape it up with a toothpick.
So I scraped it up again and followed the directions to the letter.... again.
Again the same thing. It was still water soluble.
So I bought some better grout from the tile place and tried again. It didn't get hard.
The area is dry and room temp is about 65-72 degrees F.
In some places the grout is removed all the way to the subfloor and in other places it is little deeper than 1/8"
IN both places it is still soft.
Since taking it up is cake I want to try straight Portland cement. Is this crazy? Of course it is crazy, but will it work?
If I do straight Portland how soon should I damp sponge?
