I saw those at a menards when I was home in Nebraska and havn't seen them since. I've been lookin for them. What kind of cement are you using?
Actually Im using a mix of two Sakrete Products
Sakrete High Strength concrete mix rated at 4,000 PSI
And Sakrete Ultra high strength Fast setting Concrete mix rated at 5,000 PSI

Why am I using a mix of the two you ask?
Because the High Strength stuff sets up too slowly.
And the ultra high strength stuff sets up too quickly
I find that mixing the two. particularly for the top layer gives me enough work time to set the mold work on the next batch, pour the next batch, Remove the mold and press into the next batch and then smooth out the previous section with a damp brush
I say top layer because my property has a slight dip to it and Im trying to keep it reasonably level along its length so I have thicknesses ranging from about 3-5 inches
I have it crowned very slightly to the sides to promote water runoff to he sides. Works perfectly
In the real thick sections Im using a base layer of the high strength and top it off with the mix. I dont figure on parking any M1 tanks on it in the near future so I figure that setup should be fine.
BTW as you will see in the pics I will post probably later tonight Im going over my old sidewalk as opposed to breaking it up and removing it. This sucker aint going anywhere LOL
BTW. I got the mold at Lowes.
Iffluff'n ya want one I can find out and let you know which ones they have pick it up and ship one to ya.
