You should only add the right amount of water to the mix--IE a per makers instructions ........ :9:

I was taught that floor adhesive should be wetter than wall adhesive, and always mix by feel, rather than weight.

All adhesives should be mixed according to the manufactures specification ! usually in the mixing instructions on the bag if you add to much water you will make the adhesive weaker,also if there are any issues with the installation and the adhesive is tested then it would show -up and you would be at fault for not mixing correctly !! and liable for any replacement's .......

Ive always found dave when mixing to instructions they can be a bit vague
Ie - some say someting like
' mix with 4/5 litres of water' or ' to a smooth creamy consistency'
Personally ive never measured water in my working life to mix owt, turn on tap , fill bucket, put powder in, mix with stick and poss lumps out ( im going back, arr the good old days with no wisk )
Same with grout, people go on about measuring out water cos you will get colour wrong ect ect ect , not once have i measured it .
Only time i gauge is when rendering, and not water
