Hey Lonnie love your videos mate. I'm in Australia and just wondering if they teach us Aussies oxide mix rather than the slurry mix ?

If I have a 3:1 ratio, how much water and gravy would I have to add?

Ur doing a 3 to 1 ratio? Water is always gonna differ on each mix. A half a cup is what goes in the mix

I was going with 3:1 ratio to give it a higher Portland content, making it a little easier to stamp and trowel. I did notice on your videos that the stuff your mixing gives it a nice workable texture. If I use gravy I could go back to 4:1and be a lot easier the work with. What’s your 4:1 recipe with water and gravy?

4oz of gravy is what we use in a 4 to 1 mix and then using a finer sand. The water differs with the amount of water in the sand. Overall we only put a gallon or a little more in mix, the gravy is the key to using a finer sand

Are you using concrete fiber in your mix?

Most people dont. It's more if a piece of mind thing, it wont do much for u as u cant put more thanna pinch in each mix, if more than that its sticking up all over the curb like hair, polymer (tuff curb) , gravy, even cable is way better.
