[papercreters] drying PC blocks

Hi gang- My cast PC type blocks ( no cement- just lime, sawdust &
clay) took a good 6 weeks in the direct sun to cure solid.

the mix I make does not have water run off anyway, so it is just wet
and sludgy, and can be poured into any forms.

I used long U shaped bakery wire racks as the form, laid in
newspapers to keep the wet mix in, and left the long racks elevated on
buckets and it took more than a month.

Here is link to a pic- I have sent this one before but for newbies it
might be helpful to see.

Plus, having bottom drainage or any elevation off the ground helps a
lot..
