How to Guide

Use a 2x4 to screed the surface with a rocking motion
eliminating any voids and removing excess product.
Add water as needed, 3.5 to 4 quarts of water depending on the
type of concrete mix. Concrete can be mixed in a wheelbarrow,
mortar pan or a mixer. Add enough water so mixture moves
freely and does not ball up.
A mixer is an inexpensive rental item and will make the project
easier.
NOTE: Over-watering concrete will make it weaker.
Pour concrete mixture into forms and begin spreading.
