My son and I use a ton of frag disks. I find that I am paying about 40 cents a piece for them. While thats not bad for your average hobbyist, when you use 40-50 a week, it starts to add up. I have been reading that if I use Quickrete Hydraulic cement, I dont need to cure it for 6 weeks?
We did a couple of test batches with cement we had laying around. I mixed 4 parts cement, 1 part ground Oyster shell, and 1 part coral sand. We poured a line of it onto an old black garbage bag and rolled it up like a 3 foot long burrito. After it set, I brought it to the tile saw and got 75 disks from it. I would say the cost is about a penny a piece.
So the regular cement needs to now cure for a long time. But the hydraulic doesnt?
Cheers! Mark
Any input is greatly appreciated.
