Will try it.



I remember my dad using stuff like that back when I was just a kid.
Didn't come in a bag though. He had to glass vials with the
components in it. He used it to put flotation foam on each end
of a canoe and also between the rafters on the underside of a raft
we had in a small lake.

Only thing I noticed in the video is that there cannot be any standing
water in the hole. I seem to remember you commenting that there was
water or the water table was very high or something.


Yeah, like I told Greg - I'm going to let things dry up a bit. Project is now postponed until next
week. We're going on a camping trip tomorrow.

You can always just tamp gravel down in that hole. If you use
irregular crushed stuff and not river rock, Tamp it in is short lifts
and wash some sand in there after it is packed, I am not sure how you
would get the post out. It certainly isn't going anywhere.
