When mixing my grout, should the conistency by the same as my thinset?

Depends on how you mixed your thinset.:yes:

:laughing:......good answer.

I think I mixed it ok.
The first time, I mixed it a little too thin. The second time I mixed it a little too thick and the third time I mixed it just right.........I think.

I watched a video on the web that showed the consistency and I think I got it right.

I assume the grout should not be runny? It should hold it's shape?

After I wrote that, it was exactly what I was thinking......:laughing:

After I put in my grout, is it necessary to spritz it with water for a few days after?

I have read that this should be done.

Thanks

YM, THAT is arguable. I know it is recommended on some of the grout bags. That information has been there for decades. This is one of the few times I go against the manufacturers recommendations but I would say NO. I've seen that technique cause the grout color to mottle.

Ok, Bud, I'm not doing it.

You are the professional, and I do whatever you say........
