fragging plug recomendation?

[privatejoker]

I agree with Mr X I make cement plugs with baby nipples. I let me them harden over a night or two and then put them in my toilet tank. I let them "cure" in the tank for about a month to two months. When they come out there good to go. I use straight portland cement and they hold up well.
The best thing is that they cost less then a penny per plug, can't beat that.

Do you have any pics of that.I make the disks but i couldnt figure out how to make the plugs.

Here are some pics of the final product. I also use ice cube trays to make bigger plugs for zoas.

I'm thinking of try the dixie cup thing out tonight.

I tried the dixie cups and they make great zoa plugs. I'll post some pics later.

what mix are you guys using for the cement? i'd love a recipe to try.

 

[privatejoker]

I use straight portland cement, no extra sand, limestone, nothing. I mix it a little watery and pour it into what ever form I have.

how else can i cure it other than the toilet tank? i took a look in ours last night and it seems at one point someone used one of those blue toilet cleaner things in there so i dont trust it now. its the only toilet in the house.

Put them in a bucket and change the water daily.

amd for those who put them in your toilet for weeks or months, 48 hours in vinegar works just fine.

i'm in the concrete business. i'm telling you a fact. concrete leaches for longer than 2 days. the vinegar thing might seem to work because you are only adding a small amount of concrete to your tank, but put it in a small container, and check the ph. you'll see.

I agree with X, I'm in the construction business and I know a little about concrete. Fully cures in about 30 days. Put them in your toilet tank or in a bucket and let them cure the 30 days.
