My post about the weight of grout still stands.
I recently did a 3m sq tiling job where I used approx 1kg dry weight grout..and had left overs.
I think it should stand as a post and people should be able to add to it as they see fit...

a 300X300 tile 6mm thick would have less grout than a 300X300 tile 10mm thick., too.
It still isn't bas as a beginners guide or DIY guide, though.

Can the mods please remove that part about grout weight as it is clearly wrong.
I put the guide up for no other reason than to help people out, I am gaining nothing from it.
