Just looking at the photos, I am guessing 4 or 5 paper slurry to 1
cement to 1 aggregate (which looks like local sand mix). That
consistency is about what I get from the pressure washer, without
draining, FYI.

Out of my area on that one. heh. Can't tell if his tub has a drain
or screen system in it from the pictures.

Mike: Nice pics, by the way. Next time I mix some I will try to get
the wife out to either video or take some pics. Are the high up sun
dome looking things on the wall glass mixing bowls? If so, ingenious
usage.
