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. === John, I believe you're over thinking this thing. I'd do it pretty much the way Greg has suggested: Mix up some concrete the usual way with some sand and gravel; Insert post in ground; Pour concrete around it. The concrete, being heavier than water, will sink to the bottom and push the water up until it overflows. Check post for vertical, open a beer, and come back in a couple of hours. After all it's just a mailbox, not a structural support for a high rise building. :-) I would just use gravel. Maybe quarter dust. The small stuff that makes great pathways. A heck of a lot easier to replace the post when a snowplow or idiot driver takes it out. |
