    Default sand top/mixing


    I picked up four 60lb bags of sand top/mixing....What do I need to add to it make it solid enough for my dishpans?....I am thinking I need to add pea gravel?...But, I could be wrong....


    Would appreciate any info or tips..

    I bought some of the quickrete that home depot had on sale and poured 9 bamboo condos. I think it was the same thing, I will look at the bag later today, but it did just fine with nothing added to it. I plan to take pictures today and post how mine looks.Good luck.

    I just built two dishpan wood slab condos today....I added some pea gravel to the sand top/mixing...I am hoping it turns out ok....I will let set for several days before trying to remove dishpan...

    I just checked on my sand top mixing wood slab condos...It looks like they cured pretty good...Will have to wait and see how they look once I pop them out..
