    Dave,

    I am also in the process of fixing some grout and purchased a Custom Product grout from HD but I am not sure if it has latex. It is not on the list of ingredients (portland cement, limestone, chloride salt). The product name is "White Dry Non-Sanded Grount". Green label. Is this the one or another? If latex is listed as an ingredient, I will return this and get the other.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi, Mark/Troy,

    The Custom Building Products stuff at the Home Depots here in NC is called "Polyblend".....it says "polymer-modified" on the bag.

    That's the name of the grout and I believe the thinset is called the same. I have used it a number of times and it seems to work well and consistently for me.

    Mark, I can't make out some of the ingredients on this old chewed-up bag I've got but I don't see latex mentioned....I can make out only a line or two....the rest is rubbed off.

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hmm... I think it was just badly grouted before, cuz theres no cracks or damage to the pool itself, and I think it has alot to do with the water line wearing away the grout, cuz underwater (near the floor of the pool) the grout is beautiful and no tiles are in trouble.)

    But latex grout.... I'll look for that ! Thanks!
