hi all,
After doing a lot of mixing and stuff to do with mortar and plasters I notice there is usually a sandy residue in the bottom of the bucket, and any water I pour away will obviously contain some of this sand. I've been tipping it out back in the yard, but this runs off into a normal kind of drain i.e about 1cm grid guard.
I'm wondering what is 'normal' practice here, I'm worried if I keep tipping it down this drain I'm just going to have to unblock it at some point. and I guess if it dries out it could set as hard as concrete, considering that's whats down there!
