uh - oh, my grout is too thin :( - Tile Advice

[ripkord]

Ok so following the instructions on the back of the (BAL superflwx wide) bag I used 0.2 litres of water per kilo of adhesive (so 0.7 to the 3.5kg bag) now its like very very thick cream but I feel it should be thicker..... do I have any options?

I have some rapidset adhesive left - or... er cornflour.... heheh

Any suggestions would b great, sorry know its late!!

It sounds ok to me..thick creamy..

 

[ripkord]

its just a lot thinner than the adhesive - is that normal? it kinds of drips off the trowel quite quickly.

drips off the trowel....:lol:...err stick it front of a radiator to start it to set up quicker....long night ahead or bin it and buy another bag tomoz.. and use less water...

If that is all your've got then you will have to use it but it will need time to set a bit before you go for the clean up
