Don't need a cement mixer with hardwall. Easier to apply. Faster to complete job as you can get straight on it with multi finish.

I looked into this myself , but got mixed reviews.

Pro's do the same. We fill the big blue water drum every time.

...that putting water into mixer using the hose pipe slowed the process down as the water flow was slow. So I put a plastic dustbin next to Cement mixer and had hose continuously filling the bin. When I needed water I could dump a bucket into the dustbin, instantly filling it with water and then...

I'm trying to transport a big old mixer and it would be easier if it can come apart. I'll add a picture of it. The electrical tape I've put on it is where id like to pull it (along with the drum) away from the motor. If I do that does it come apart easily and go back easily or could it create...

As noseall said, the initial set starts as soon as the water mixes with the OPC. It's normally 12-24 hours before it reaches it's final set, and then it starts hardening. It's tested at 28 days, as it's reached most of it's strength by then, but will continue over the years to get harder. In...

...never cures properly. Strength is very low and you find the concrete in the middle is still powder. Bite the bullet and rent/borrow a cement mixer! There is a concrete patch product made for this approach, though. I used it a year back, bought from either Wickes or B&Q. The aggregate is...

Go for it. Chuck in any old bags of cement you have lying around too. Concrete is a great way to use up scabby bits of cementitious stuff; my garden walls are sat on a right old mix of out of date plaster, grout, board adhesive, concrete cobble off cuts, general hardcore, brick/tile, /glass...

Its sets like bell iron. We will sometimes chuck some cement in along with a shovel of screed sand, when we want a bit of oomph to our hard core layer.

hi very difficult to get cement to site, thinking mixing on site, but concerned using 85 litre hire mixer will take for ever for 4-4.5 m3,also i take it mix fairly runny to help level? cheers

...needs compacted, and a full bed of mortar. So in addition to someone's labour, and skills and experienece, there's a wackerplate and a cement mixer to get, and a van with diesel and insurance and tax to gethem there. There's cleaning the equipment when he's finished, then somewhere to...

Hi All, I am am a bit bewildered by all the tips I've seen online so wondered if someone could say what the best things to use are? I have prepared my patio area, compacted in MOT type 1 subase and it is all level. I now have to lay my 3.6m cicular patio kit (sandstone). From what I have...

You should look at what the make-up of the floor is. You might strike lucky and have a concrete sub-base along with a floor screed, affording you the opportunity to break up the screed and lay your UFH. However, those panels look like they'll need a fair bit of cover, to prevent delamination...

...on top of? 3. Do I need to put down a damp course? 4. What shall I use to level off the dug out surface? 5. Having never used a cement mixer, is there some sort of compound I can I mix in a bucket to level the surface? 6. The area is around 9 meters square - roughly how long would it take...

I never asked if it changed or was ammended. Please show where the offer for Hopkins to apologise and end proceedings, was rescinded after 38 minutes. FFS. And explain how come after three days, and the months leading up to court, she still had the ability to retract apologise and end...

Her actions suggest otherwise. If I say I want £100 for a cement mixer and then you say done, If I then say oh and your van. Do you think the offer of £100 still stands? Surely you aren't that stupid. The offer changed. Given it have been complied with and yet the threats continued. It...

Can I use my existing bags of sand in some way? Also, do I need to use MOT1 and crush it down?

Buy 10+ 25kg bags of ballast and two bags of cement. Mix concrete (6:1) in a mixer. Lay concrete in the hole, tamp it flat-ish then walk away for a couple of hours. Trowel it smooth. Go have lunch. Trowel it again.

...on a budget should I do it a bit at a time with some cheaper tool? I don't know what tools to use for this. I also need to know what tool to use to put new mortar in and what the easiest to use mortar is as I won't have a cement mixer. Any advice on the attached outhouse would be welcome too.
