Water – Mix a bag of 25KG self-leveling concrete with 6L of water

concreteflooringwater

I bought a 24L bucket to fit the mix of 25KG of self-leveling concrete (Thomsit DD+) and 6L of water. Now, visually inspecting the thing, I can't really tell if it's large enough to handle the amount. It seems to be but not totally sure.

Can anyone tell me if the volume fits or should I aim for a larger bucket? I'd rather not drop the bag of cement dust in the bucket and realize it's not large enough and then have to move it around.

UPDATE: This is the procedure. And their bucket size is close to mine.

Lacking a specific brand from your question, I went and looked at

http://www.screwfix.com/p/mapei-ultraplan-self-levelling-compound-grey-25kg/4959f

Which states that it will cover (mixed) 6 square meters at 3mm thick.

I make that 100cm x 600 cm x 0.3 cm or 18,000 cubic centimeters. Last I checked, 1000 CCs was a liter, so you have 6 liters of free space.
