dear gary,

my practicing is going along well....although i lost a whole big pot of nice rough coat cuz i put too much cement in it...and then let it sit in a bucket over night...ay ay ay
so i'm wondering how much cement you add to your mix, what are your proportions.
also, do you know of a provider around here, on the west coast for slaked lime. presently i am getting it from NY but i am afraid of the frost so would like to find some here....

thanks so much and hope you're having a good new year so far!
