We are in need of help. Both Mike and myself have had a lot going with work and such. I've looked at how to make these disks. Does anyone know where we can get these materials? Sculpting sand , Portland cement? I know this is last minute and yes time got away from us so if anyone can help that would be awesome

Peter and I could pick up a couple bags of Portland cement from Home Depot?

I can get the materials today. I think. I just don't know what sculpting sand is or where to get it?

Do we need molds? If we do, does anyone live in an area with same day amazon prime delivery?

I have a small tub of Quikrete Water-Stop cement I can bring that's never been opened.

And @RandyC - I'm interested in the mean gold torch, if it's not spoken for!

Yours.

I also have some ESV 2-part (16-oz bottles) that I haven't touched and will not since I'm using BRS 2-part. Anyone want this (free!)? Also can bring some chaeto if anyone is in need of some.

I have a similar silicone mold for poaching eggs that I can sacrifice from the kitchen. About 3" diameter but has a somewhat rounded bottom. I will bring it.

I read online that a good mix is 1 part hydraulic cement (lower ph than Portland?) to 3 parts Aragonite sand? adding perhaps some rock salt to make porous?

You are ahead of me. I think we should experiment with different mixes and materials

Petco has Aragonite sand that is $7 for a 10 pound bag. I also think the hydraulic cement dries and cures faster?

Sounds like this is going to be a great party. I'm sorry I'm missing it. We'll be on the road to lego land at that time.
