Default Postcrete - whether to mix in agrigate or not?

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.


There are two types, one is just a fine powder, the other has aggregate.
Both seem to work, in fact I reckong the former is better.
