I like portland cement with no added aggregate. Because when the mill is turned on it's end and the bedstone is setting on the runner the bottom of the pour will be the inside finish where all the business takes place. The finish is then smooth with no stones/aggregate making places where meal/flour can catch, making clean out harder. I will try to put some pics together on my last setting. The sealing was done with foam pipe insulation squeezed in to create a nice inside radius when pulled out. Cracks where the cement will leak to the runner below and the feed hole sealing was done with Play Doe. <br>
If you want the best face to face contact, you will have to turn the mill on the end. Don't forget to bring your runner in to a good spring tension plus a 1/4" to ensure you have enough spring tension at the closest stone clearance. And determine if your bed stone is protruding, flush or recessed in you bed stone housing. You may have to make a spacer if protruding which is discarded when finished.

<p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
know we go through this periodically, but I’ve forgotten. I’m
getting ready to pour the bedstone on the 20” meadows I got a few weeks
ago. What are you using for mortar? The first one I did a few years
ago, I used plain mortar mix from a bag. I seem to remember a few different
thoughts on this. What say ye? Does anyone have a good process for
lining up the mill then pouring where mortar doesn’t get where it’s
not supposed to and the stones are lined up when you’re done? That
was another problem I ran into last time.</span></b></p>
