For the simple instructions.....use 1 part concrete to 4-5 parts crushed oyster shell, sand, or a mix of both.

Cure for a long time in fresh water.

I cure mine in the toilet tank. And they usually only take 2 or 3 weeks to cure.
Alotta peeing going on in my house I guess ..:rollface:

Southdown is almost impossible to find, alternitives can be found at HD or Lowes. I use Kolorscape(by Oldcastle)Paver sand for my plugs. :mixed:

Arragocrete mix (ratio's vary), and the little plastic trays that the organic free-range egg's come in at my grocer. Your's may differ, but the one store has these eggs that come in a plastic container, instead of the usual styro-foam or paper kind? Works mint for a mold, if you fill them about 1/4-1/3rd full.
Cure em in the toilet tank by the handful.. :D
