Working with grout and thinset-mortar can seem a bit intimidating. In this video I show you how easy it is to mix up a batch — and I do it in 4 different ways. There’s a method for you whether you need a lot, a little, or hardly any. All 4 methods involve the dry, powdery variety of grout and thinset-mortar. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.
