Alternative to lugging bags of concrete about / waterless.

[Richard Urquhart]

Looks great Dave I wonder what the price will be ?

[Martin Cole]

I bet they are pleased the link has been posted.

Had the email through a few times now..looks good.

I’ll have to make my big 10 gallon water containers redundant at this rate 🙁

Looks great indeed. But what with the weight issue? Concrete has a certain counter weight which mostly is necessary for your sign construction. Couldn’t that be a problem with Kongcrete?

My thoughts entirely
it would seem as if you would simply be gluing the post to the ground!

Yea, me too. I guess it might be OK in hardcore or very dense earth, but I think they need a fair old weight of concrete to lower the centre of gravity to keep it stable – especially in wind.

i spoke with them just over a month ago…
they have had these two videos on isigntube.com from around then too which is why they contacted me.

which reminds me i need to return his call from a few days ago! 😕 😳

LOL, Martin, youre lucky. Only 10 Gal water containers….We use 44 Gal drums 😮 They are to heavy to load on the truck, so we load them empty and fill them on the vehicle. With a 4 Gal bucket filled in the kitchen, through the workshop, into parking area, into drum…..

I’ve been meaning to buy a hosepipe for 3 years, but always only remember about it when the guys are busy loading up to install in a waterless area.

Did make a "note to self" again. Will forget about it by the 2nd cup of coffee…. 😀

I’m about to try it out on a couple of small signs, i will post my results.

it uses compressive force to hold posts in place or so i’m told

[Russell Spencer]

Did anyone ever try this stuff, if so how did you find it?

thanks

[Warren Beard]

I tried it, battled with it in the cold as it didn’t expand enough and ended up using twice the amount so ended up a lot more expensive than post mix, haven’t tried in Summer as yet but don’t think I would convert just yet and stock both types and will stick with postmix for now.

It does work though.
