Description

You are going to need a WHITE sponge-scourer to clean off this product.

Comparing Cement Grout to Epoxy Grout is like comparing a push-bike to a motor cycle. Unlike other epoxy grouts on the market, the Starlike Crystal EVO catalyst component is labelled only as an irritant. It is neither corrosive nor hazardous for the environment. This is also important for the person using it – it makes it a bit more expensive but is so well worth it.

Features:

Based on aggregate made from recycled glass beads, Starlike Crystal EVO is the perfect solution for grouting transparent and artistic mosaics.

• A two-part, translucent epoxy grout for grouting transparent glass or artistic mosaics with joints up to 3 mm
• Ultra-low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
• Contains more than 50% recycled materials.
• The perfect choice when using multiple colours of translucent tesserae – “absorbs”  colour from its surrounds
• Does not contain any solvents or hazardous chemicals
• Classed as an IRRITANT only
• Easy to use and clean-up
• Storage time: 24 months in original packaging, avoid freezing temperatures
• store any unused hardener in an air-tight manner (such as a a zip-lock bag), in the original tub
• Food Safe
• Mixing ratios (as per the Technical Data Sheet from Litokol):
  • Component A: 93.7 parts by weight
  • Component B: 6.3 parts by weight
  • A kitchen scale is great to measure out the grout
  • If you calculate that you need 100 grams of grout, weigh out 93.7 grams Part A, and 6.3 grams Part B
  • If you need, for example, 145 grams of grout, you will need:
    • (145/100) x 93.7 Part A, (i.e 1.45 x 93.7 = 135.8 grams) and
    • (145/100) x 6.3 Part B, (i.e 1.45 x 6.3 = 9.2 grams)

How easy is it to apply?

This product is incredibly easy to apply and clean-up. Both Starlike and Crystal grouts include a cleaning agent, which reacts with the water used in clean-up, making it very easy to clean-off. Clean off excess grout with a gloved hand or rubber kidney, then lightly rub-over with a wet white scourer pad (rinsing frequently). If you feel any “drag” or stickiness on the scourer pad, add more water.  Then wipe over with a squeezed-out sponge. Follow up with a detailed clean after about 20 mins – I use a pick, similar to what I would use with cement grout, and a dampish scourer. Polish with a soft, dry cloth, and the job is done.
