[papercreters] Re: blocks won't dry

Dick
[The dry blocks are tough, but I can make a finger nail mark in the
surface. There have a powdery surface.]

I guess that the powdry surface is the cement. You can get that when
you have an abundance of water in your mix. You can test your mix by
putting it in a small glass container and stir it firmly for a couple
of minutes and then leave that for 1 day. if you see a clear
seperation between the different sand on the bottom, paper above that
and the cement morr on top the you have too much water in the mix and
instead of having a even mix from top to bottom the water has
seperated the lighter parts from the heavier parts.
Let me know if this is your experience?
