I am using Laticrete Spectra SET mortar for our kitchen tile. The directions call for 5.5 quarts of water for each 50 pound bag of mortar. That is way too dry. My 1/2 drill will barely turn it let alone get to the point where it is usable.
I have been using half a bag and dividing the water, then adding more water until it gets to the right consistency. I am taking it to the point where it looks like thick cake icing. It is really easy to use at that point and does not dry out too quickly.
Is this normal to have to add more water? Or am I messing up big time?
Thanks
