Hey there Bri ... TEC makes the 3 part and you can leave out the sand if you like. It's a bit harder to use without the sand but if the grout lines are small then it works fine. [shifty]

BRI, Harry

Laticrete's epoxy is an "unsanded" type, with vertical grade and non-vertical grade being the options. I find it to be an absolute breeze to work with when compared to the other type I have tried...the 2 parts of the epoxy mix added to regular sanded grout.

Is this what you guys are familiar with?

Well yeah....but does it stay on walls without running out of the joints?

The vertical grade works great on walls...no problems.
