mortar?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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. Check out <A

<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>
