1 part Portland cement
ReplyDelete2 parts sand
3 parts coarse sand
Enough water to mix workable, but not more. Hope this helps.
Woodtick has a lot of material, but I want the quantities of sand, gravel and sand need to (change to clean). His mixture would work very rocky and difficult, which more water than is necessary to require it profitable. The more water you add, the weaker the concrete. Is a good rule, add only half the weight of cement in water. For example, if you are in 10 pounds of cement, set over 5 pounds of water.
ReplyDeleteNo added sugar! Sugar hinder the rapid hardening concrete as usual. And if the candy was enough, added to prevent the concrete could never quite tough.
If you do more than cubic meters of concrete, call your local ready-mix concrete and how much it would cost. You can help in the calculation of how you need are a great source of information.
I once read if you add sugar to the mixture to be stronger or something
