    then I'll say it, No you can't*

    *I have no authority to say one way or another but I have never seen or heard of doing so. but given that grout is full of abrasives I think it would scratch fiberglass to s^*t

    Oh heck, you can’t grout fiberglass.

    :hattip:


    Seriously, it might look like it’s adhering but it’s going to be short-term.

    Did some maintenance on the truck today: oil change, tire rotation & brake inspection.

    Also installed a brake controller, I didn't try it out on the trailer as it was pouring.

    The install was EZ - plug & play, however...

    I'm a big guy - it is a small truck.
    All the work was in the drivers foot well & I can't kneel or crouch so the job took about 4 times longer than it should have - and I'm feeling it. :bananadead:

    just like you won't use mortar mix on a fiberglass boat, you can't grout fiberglass shower panels. different flexibilities and thermal expansion rates. it won't last more than a few weeks. enough to get yourself off an island from cuba to florida, but not during hurricane season!

    this is like using a funnel as a drinking glass.

    you don't actually need a silicone caulk, it just lasts longer between applications, has a lower shrink ratio, and is more mold-resistant than standard caulk.

    Is it the knees? I’ve upgraded from card board to knee pads with hard shells and gel insides. They’ve never been happier!

    Good morning everyone :hattip:

    Fiberglass? No, you cannot use grout. Grout also does not seal, so no es bueno. Also don't use silicone, it won't hold up like a proper tub/tile/shower corking.

    Meanwhile they started putting integrated brake controllers into the 4th gens. However, I will never use the truck to tow. I actually think I still have a plug/play brake controller around here that came out of one of my second gens. Kept hitting my knee on it, and I'm a short guy o_O

    Good morning friends! Hope everyone had a great weekend and has an awesome day :hattip:



    Cole and I been hammer down cutting trees and moving them with the skidsteer, I knew it was just a matter of time before the neighbor said something.

    She threw out a line but didn't catch anything.........


    Neighbor text my wife and said "is Shane building a Disneyland in the woods for the kids? If so, I want a ticket"

    Wife responded "wouldn't that be fun?"

    End of text :rofl::rofl::rofl:
