Hi all,

I use postcrete for setting in posts etc. My own feeling is that it
would be stronger if I mixed in some gravel (ballast). I've tried it and
it works fine - goes off almost as quickly, but I don't know if this is
strengthening it or not. Anybody know if this is worth doing or not.

Many thanks,

Neil


The postfix stuff I have used in the past has already had gravel in it.
No not this stuff

I have seen other makes with gravel in them but have been told that they are
not so good as Postcrete. In fact one make (don't recall the name) I was
told by the supplier that it was rubbish in comparison. It's difficult to
be sure of all this as I haven't tried other brands myself.

It just seems to me that proper concrete has gravel in, so why doesn't this
stuff need it as well.
