On Friday at work the lads found a German incendiary bomb, first time I've came across anything ww2

Sikaflex proseal, use it as described on the tin after powerfloating... after last pass and again within 24 hrs

@Banana Bar how much Grafotherm is needed to do 1 x 20ft container as above description?

Sorry 313F, imagine push your grading bucket out on a mound of soil to backfill a hole, 312E will rev up and do it no problem then when your arm is out you track forward... mound of soil gone. Not with the 313F, no grunt, couldn't push over more than a ton bag worth of stuff I'd say!
