I bought 100 pounds of petrobond about 2 years ago and have just gotten around to using it. It seems a little wetter than I thought it would be and seems to crumble easier than it should. I need to do something to it to get it to firm up and stay together better. I have a small cement mixer, I was thinking of tossing it in there and giving it a twirl thinking the oil may have migrated to the bottom of the box. That might get everything mixed up and evened out. If that fails should I add a binder. bentonite? cat litter? How can i fix the sand? |

I would give it a good mix up Mine has been in a bag 3 years and still works fine John |

Giving your petrobond sand a whirl in a cement mixer should improve things, remulling it is a better option, but if you had a muller you wouldn't be talking about cement mixers. OTOH adding bentonite, kitty litter etc will create problems for you as they are not oil compatible. |
