Rene was able to direct me to this article some time ago and i think you need an acrobat something or other to access the article.I am working on this very subject right now and i am some way down the track and i am very happy with what she was able to get to me and with what is happening here.This stuff is called glopatta or similar and i have worked out the ratios as well as i can for making smaller batches, as i am 70 years old i work at a very slow pace and i take plenty of rests.30 parts mortar mix. 1 part fire clay, 1 part cement (not concrete), 1 part hydrated lime and we are using 1 part biege colouring to recreate Queensland sandstone blocks (we will mark the partially set mixture appropriately later on) and about 10 parts water but this will vary with conditions ie temperature and hunidity. The lime is a problem as you can only buy it in bigger quantities than you need, but it's not exxy at all. We have already used our first bag of mortar mix.The work we are doing is pretty good and its pretty easy but what Jack does is outstanding.If you want to see what we have done send us an email, it isn't much but we are hastening slowly and leaving the most artistic stuff till last.Rgds Ian
