Mix Dry Pack in a TRASH BAG!!! ---Clean, Efficient, and Easy!

[@doug8237]

As a tile guy that’s been through hundreds of videos. This has to be the best advice I’ve ever seen. thank you very much.

[@NathanHarrison7]

Do you have to firmly pack down the deck mud? As in compact it as “much” as possible with your arms?

[@williamsweeney3562]

Tried this yesterday on a job site for the first time. Worked beautifully! I will never bring a pan or shovels to a job site again. Thanks for posting!!

[@mattwolfe3922]

I totally dig your videos. Most people would use the lack of "standard" tools as an excuse to go home for the day. This video shows how a guy with ambition can keep moving forward. 👍 Brother.

[@stevenle1760]

Nice, this was the same way my tile contractor used to mix the mud he used for our shower. Cool to see other people do it too. It seemed like an ingenious way to do it.

[@msimbo93]

Love this tip! You don't always have a lot of space to work with when doing bathrooms, so even using a mixing pan or wheel barrow is not a good option. Not to mention, the bag contains the dust and makes for easy clean up. Great idea and content!

Tile Coach wears the most dapper of hats!

[@jpc9893]

Tried this method...worked flawlessly! Thanks for the pointer!

[@seanstumpf4190]

This is an amazing tip. My mind is blown.

[@mudslinger4427]

Wow. Im impressed.. Great tip and perfect "snowball" consistancy. My tell on mix ratio is i will form a snowball and toss is up and catch firmly. Should fall apart on the third catch. To wet is not your friend!!! Thanks man!!

[@Rocco101]

That's awesome Isaac, I do all are mud pans with the dry pack, I might have to try the bag idea thanks for sharing

[@harriottavainen9776]

I used this with SpeedSlope and it worked great! Thanks for the great tip!

[@bigbikerjohn64]

That is just brilliant! Perfect for small batches. 👍

[@heribertolgonzalez4985]

No lo sabia tengo asiendo este trabajaodesde el 84 con carretilla con botes en el suelo pero con bolsas es rapido y limpio . Nunca acaba de aprender no . Este camarada sabe del trabajo bien sabe todo como debe ir untranajo que usar grasias .

[@AlexB-hp3dj]

Out of all things, I hate mixing sand mix.This is amazing.

[@kennethlemke9826]

Excellent job

[@bTzuR]

Better and faster then with the drill I think. Saves a bucket too lol good idea. I'll try that next time

[@philyd387]

That's a great method for a smaller mix. If doing large mixes I prefer using a front tine rototiller and mixing on top of 2 pieces of masonite board. Shovel your mix into some 5 gal buckets and you're set.

[@jwalk4491]

That is awesome. Great tip. 👍

[@simmer-ringJ]

This worked perfectly for me...with the first bag of mortar. The second bag of mortar caused the bag to leak and thankfully i had a plan B and was able to pour the contents of the bag into a mixing pan. My bag was 3 mils thick.

[@andycho7810]

man that's such a good way to do it. I'm going to try this on the next shower screed. :)

[@Aepek]

It’s one way like to do that; especially in finished homes when remodeling just a bathroom. Will also use a garbage can that has flat bottom as well.

[@pjathytoutai8359]

Never thought to mix it this way!

[@RossWilliamsDC]

I just did it 2 days ago. Mix longer than you think you need to. Mine came out lumpy and was a pain to work, but ended up good.

[@BaDiLi2L]

I searched for garbage bag mixing thinking i was so stupid and lack of professionalism... im with you all lol im doing this later today

[@patrickkennedy2533]

lovely , do castles made of deck mud drift into the sea , eventually ?

[@johnbell1246]

Using the ledger board at the end for quickly mudding a pan perfectly level seems like a Life hack I Never thought of...where was that Gem of an idea for your pitching a pan videos?

[@diybasics6270]

How much water would you use with the 55lb bag. The recommended amount of water seems like it’s too much.

[@darwinbodero7872]

Can you do quickrete concrete bags this way?

[@jonathanruiz5752]

Does the sakrete Sand mix Toping and Bedding works the same as sakrete deck mud or the Mapei 4 to 1? Would the cure the same for the for the hydo ban application?

[@donboty2493]

Excellent

[@jtltet]

How much working time do I have to get the deck mud sloped and smoothed out in the shower once I have it mixed up?

[@TileCoach]

About an hour

[@gbe419]

What is the coverage

[@vitolucci3182]

Very smart!

[@homerenew]

I did this today as I was doing my first deck mud pan. It worked amazing Also using the amazing FloFX drain like the Coach teaches. So far job is turning out amazing thanks to my KZbin Tile Coach lessons.

[@evtile7203]

COOL TRICK.

[@hemidenis]

Can I use hydroband to water proofing my plywood floor before put my title directly on top?

[@MattCupan]

Your city inspector will have that answer.

[@hemidenis]

@@MattCupan city inspector? What's that?

[@abotorab3292]

I can’t find the dry pack in Home Depot in Canada 🇨🇦 I hope they start getting it

[@junkyarddawgs9956]

Quikrete sand/ topping mix sold at home depot!!

[@samiam7]

Slick trick!

[@genollanas2110]

What is ballpark working time on sand/ cement mix?…om assuming couple hours?

[@andycho7810]

it depends hugely on substrate / humidity / temperature and what kind of cement you use. standard portland cement 1:4 mix yes around a couple of hours usually, mapei mapecem is about half working time in all conditions

[@raulespinoza7595]

2 and a half galon by bag 50 pounds?

[@williamp9158]

That's a crossfit work out. Instead of lifting tires you just move cement bags around

[@MrTooTechnical]

Nice

[@jlg2822]

Wow. So simple. Took only a few minutes. No cleanup. Just toss the bag when done.

[@joedunn1390]

Thats smart..

[@conradcoolerfiend]

1 weird trick

[@PS-bs8oe]

Good workout unless your backache is making u quitte DIY

[@shaunn7778]

The recipe for mapei mud bed mix is way off. You definitely want it wetter than what they say. I had to rip mine up twice because it was too dry. If it's too dry, you don't activate the concrete component of it

[@andycho7810]

it works fine if you compact it down enough, I've been following instructions on the bags here in NZ for as long as I can remember. but different regions may have different formulas so your mileage may very well vary :)

[@junkyarddawgs9956]

When you can suck it up with a vacuum the next day not good!! I would also prefer a little on the wet side just to be safe , but too wet and you can't screed it properly and pack it!! Home depot carries quikrete sand topping mix which works good!!
