Lime is confusing. Don't buy field marking lime though. The MSDS says it's just montmorollinic clay (sp?).
Lowe's and a local Feed store both carry the right stuff and it does say in big letters on the bag that it's Hydrated. Lowe's was cheapest but I was so excited to find it in the feed store I got a bag at $10/50# bag. Lowe's was $7.75 for the same exact manufacturer's product...Texas Lime Co. in Cleburne, TX.
So far we have tested some in applications with flyash, property silt and rocks to see how fly-crete works. So far, it seems really good and should continue gaining strength for years. It's workable at low water content and sets up really fast. Short pot life and development of strength takes longer than portland cement according to what we've read. The short pot life has been verified so far. Anyone know what might slow it down?
