Please turn down the volume on your background music. Love your work but the music is too loud. Thank you.

Love it! Do you use quick dry cement?

[@ArtsyPrettyPlants]

No, it's portland cement and sand. The materials are in the description.

[@noemid1458]

I have Portland cement why do we need to use sand does it make it more stable🤔

[@ArtsyPrettyPlants]

Portland cement needs sand to bind. Regardless of project, portland cement can't be used alone.
