    @yankieman@yankieman your mixture looks like it is pretty thick, when we did this in DSM last year it was really kind of liquid, meaning, there was no way we could form it into a shape on it's own, it flowed and conformed to the same form. So was that too thin of a mixture?

    It sounds like you added to much water ,, I try and make it somewhat thick

    I guess the thickness got lost in translation when we were talking, pictures are worth a lot more!! It looks almost like you could grab a handful of it, form it into a ball, and it would pretty much hold shape. Ours was like medium-thick oatmeal if I recall correctly, when poured into the sand mold it would flatten out on top like freshly poured cement. I think that's too thin. Might have to redo this meeting!

    Turbo-Too thin, should be moist enough to stay together when squeezed per the garf specs, but, not to dry or will be fragile.
    Yankee looks to have the proper ratios going. Good looking rock
