Need Help With Grout Measurements

[Tilly2]

I have a 2.5 Kg bag of grout and the instructions are to add the bag to 0.65 litres of water.

I only need a small amount, as I want to replace some loose grout on the bathroom floor tiles. Just a couple of spoonsful really.

Can you tell me how much grout and water I need to make a quarter of a litre of mixed grout?

Thank you.

Just bung a cupful of grout in a bowl and slowly add water, stirring all the time till it becomes like whipped cream. Do not put water in first.

That's very precise, Sparkly. :-) I'll give it a go. What's the worst thing that could go wrong?

Any other tips?

Don't let it get too sloppy, that's why it is better to add water a few drops at a time. Stirring all the time till it looks like whipped cream, quite firm and if you make a hill it won't fall back in on itself.

If it gets too stiff before you have finished, do not add more water, chuck it away and start again.

All done. Thank you, Sparkly. I enjoyed doing that.

Excellent.
