My bathroom floor tile job turned into a giant slip and slide

I had to pick between a normal grout and a fancy epoxy grout for my small bathroom floor. I went with the epoxy because the box said it was super strong and waterproof. After mixing it, I had about 45 minutes to work before it set rock hard. I got maybe a third of the floor done before the rest turned into a solid lump in the bucket. Now I have a patchwork floor with half the tiles grouted and the other half just sitting there. Has anyone else had a grout mix go bad that fast and how did you fix it?

Honestly how bad is it really though? Tbh a patchwork floor sounds like a funny story more than a disaster. Epoxy is brutal for first timers, that fast set time is normal. Can't you just chip out the old stuff in the bucket and mix a tiny new batch? It's a small bathroom, not a whole kitchen.

Yeah, that's just how epoxy goes in my experience.
