Tip, if your mixing a whole bag at a time using a propper marked out mixing bucket that is marked for the amounts of water to use for that make of adhesive, or grout, then fill to around the 3/4 mark of the recommended amount of water only, then add the bad of powder, then mix and add little amounts of water to suit your working conditions.
That way if you need\want the adhesive\grout that little bit thicker then you have the option there, where as adding the full amount of water from the off set leave you no room for variation.

Also make sure you only mix up enough that you can use before it sets in the bucket..............

Water in the bucket first small amount as you mix until the required consistency

I don't know why but I've never got into the "water in the bucket first then adhesive\grout" method, just powder then water.
