Ok I have a genious idea... The team is the force in here.

THIS THREAD WILL BE ONLY FOR MIX RECIPE

I am trying to organize a thread for all people to only post the mix they use. I started a master document on how to make tufa, mix to use, mold, ect... I will release it after for all to use.

The rules for the idea to work is:

- The recipe you are pasting is not already posted here

- The thread is not used to chat about mix (Lets make it only for mix to be organized in one point)

- Specify what the mix is used for

- Specify properties of mix (optional)
