I am about to use Laticrete's SpectraLock epoxy grout on a kitchen
blacksplash. 4.25" square glazed tile, 1/16th grout line. I have the
"narrow grout line" additive.

I've done several tile jobs in the past, including floors, counters,
tub, shower, walls, but I've always used conventional grout.

Does anyone have experience with this grout? Advice? Tips and/or
tricks?

I grouted my countertops with epoxy and didn't care for it. Unlike the nice,
smooth easy-spreading conventional grout, epoxy spreads like hot bubble gum,
is a pain in the ass to remove the excess and, oh yeah, stains like regular
grout anyway.

Experience? Yes, but you don't. Stick to conventional grout.

I checked out their website regarding this product and in fairness I
should add I haven't used this particular product. I don't know what
Laticrete has done to make it easier to install than epoxy grout, but
maybe they're onto something. It's touted to be 'easy' for the first
time diy'er and easy to use as cement based grout, so let us know how it
goes for you.

This is interesting:
"A new design component,
LATICRETE SpectraLOCK Dazzle, adds metallics or
“glow in the dark” enhancements to the grouts."

The kids will like that aspect of it...
