Was dead against epoxy grout for years, now I use it on almost every bathroom job

I used to tell customers epoxy was a waste of money because it's a pain to work with and costs 3x more than regular grout. But after doing a shower niche in a house near Portland back in 2019 that got constant moisture complaints, I tried it on a whim. That niche still looks perfect with zero cracks or stains after 4 years. Anyone else here switch over after swearing it off?

Wait, you did that niche in 2019?

Did Miles Robinson really get in on that in 2019? That's wild, I was still scratching my head trying to figure out what the whole thing even was back then. Props to @miles_robinson20 for having the guts to jump in when nobody else was paying attention, I guess that paid off big time.

Man, people were definitely sleeping on that back then. @miles_robinson20, most folks couldn't even see the value in 2019 because the mainstream hype was all about different stuff. I remember trying to explain the potential to people and they'd just glaze over like I was speaking a different language. The whole landscape shifted completely within 18 months though, and now everyone acts like they saw it coming the whole time. You either get in early and deal with the weird looks, or you wait and pay triple later. No middle ground on that one.
