[TheForge] Hydraulic Cements etc

[Ralph Sproul]

Thanks for the info on this product Don.

One point to make on your last note about carbide tipped holes saws.  I've
used them succesfully on granite..........but with a water running on it
full time.

What ever you do, use it dry, or use it with water...........don't use it -
then add water.  Carbide hates thermal shock!!  That was a $138 educational
experience.  :-(
