Re: [papercreters] ''Papercreters plz help''

Portland cement is basically the only cement that we use.  When I have gone and asked for cement
at a lumber yard they tend to bring out sacks of 'concrete mix'.  That has cement, sand, and aggregate
all together.  The cement only bags are typically 94# and only contain the cement. 

The sacked concrete mix tend to be about 50 or 60# per bag (and can be different).  Quickrete is a
brand name, but there are others.

Portland cement is not a 'brand name' but is the generic description of the cement.  You probably want
type II or III, not type I.  Type II or III or II/III (characteristics of both), are the most typical you will find.

Keep the cement dry and away from to much moisture vapor.  Also, wear a good dust mask as it is
a VERY fine dust as it comes out of the bag.

Enjoy... Jack
