Looking at the quote you did, it looks like my fingers got faster
than my brain!  I meant to say that I've been getting dental
stone at that price.  The supplier is one of the wholesalers down
in San Diego, CA. and it has just been him because the guy before
me was getting it there.
One of the guys brought in some Hydrostone from the local Home
Depot and mixed it up by the "proper" weight method (he's an
engineer so he's gonna do things by the book) and the stuff mixed
rather thin by my standards of mixing but it cured properly to a
nice solid piece of stone and ended up being a nice tool in the
end.  He also did the usual for some of you of waiting for it to
become fully cured before using it.  Got me antsy to get things
under way!
