Warm weather has arrived.
I bet quite a few people will be slopping some slurry around.
What specific project are you making? No project is too small.
Have any pictures of your active project so far?
Here in Oklahoma I am making PC stones to use for siding over my OSB attached to my Red Iron frame work. I am useing a 2 part wet paper pulp, 1 part sand, and 1 part cement mixture. I do not add any water to the mix only the water that is in the wet paper pulp, the mix is quite dry and once I mold it in plastic molds I can remove the mold right away if I want, I don't have to because I have 6 or 8 molds to use all at the same time if I want. Or if I have some help I'll remove each mold right away and cast another as soon as possible. I will upload some photos to show you what the stones will look like. I have not laid any on my OSB as of yet but plan to do so this weekend. I also just pressed my first block and was really surprised. I doubled the above mix which filled my press form to the brim, I thought it would press down to a 16x12x6 block, instead it only pressed down to 8x12x16, the press form is 9 1/2 x12x16. So now I'm only going to use the same mix that I use to fill my plastic stone molds.
