Hello,
I'm new to the forum and am in the process of making a Marmarino plaster mix. I live here in the Mid West and can find nothing close to a marble dust in bulk. Just curious if you have had success with this vender mentioned in your message? Did this Calcium Carbonate work out for you? Or have you since found a better source?
Thank you I hope to hear back, I realize this discussion is over a year old.
Sincerely
Jeanette
