Preparing littler amounts will get small jobs done with fewer material expenses. You can mix smaller batches and keep it in a workable consistency. Bringing thinset mortar mixes down to a reasonable size makes them controllable by nearly anyone.
Things You Will Need
-
Add 2 inches of cold water to a 5-gallon bucket.
-
Pour about 15 to 20 pounds of thinset powder into the bucket.
-
Mix the thinset and water using a drill with a mixing bar attachment. Mix at a medium speed so you do not add too much air.
-
Gradually add more water until the consistency is like gravy.
-
Let your thinset rest for 10 minutes once it is completely mixed. It will become noticeably thicker.
-
Stop and remix your Flexbond thinset whenever it begins to harden as you use it.
