Thanks for the info, Nori.
I'm guessing that the most economical method of acquiring a small
quantity (like 1-10 pounds) is to just post a request directly here
on Papercreters.
I'm very confident that we have a few members that have used it in
the past and a few are probably still using it. If you smile really
nice, offer to mail someone a check to cover their costs, including
the Postage or shipping, you could probably talk someone into helping
you out.
My assumption for this technique is that the individual would be
looking for a small quantity for a couple of experiments. It would
be a one time transaction. If someone decides they will use larger
quantities or needs a steady supply, they'd certainly want to buy
directly from a vendor as Nori so nicely stated.
Something puzzles me though.
Which one of these characters is named Pozz?

cost would be (I would guess about $300.00). The other alternative is
to purchase by the bag through www.concretedepot.com. They buy our
material by the pallet and re-sell by the bag. Certainly more
expensive, but if you don't need large quantities it is a good way to
go."

energy surcharge plus shipping. That's $558.26 (remember, shipping
is estimated to Washington State) which breaks out to ~$23.26 a bag.

interested in a super sack, please contact Ken directly. KenMc@...
