Thank you for sharing such an informative video! I'm curious if we could consider substituting the Polywater Insta grout with non-shrink grout. While Instagrout seems to be commonly used for transformer pads, J boxes, control cabinets, etc., its high cost and unexpected lack of expansion in low temperatures raise concerns. Exploring alternatives like non-shrink grout might offer more cost-effective and reliable solutions.

Grout is one of those specialty materials that invite a LOT of unnecessary cost, in our opinion. As long as you're meeting the right ASTM specs, there's no need for all of the fancy bells and whistles that some manufacturers throw in. Good grout is good grout!

Can I use this product to fill cracks in my pool coping sand and paint?

Non-shrink grout is probably a little hardcore for that application - a product like Top 'N Bond might be a better fit from a workability and cost POV.
