Ever had mud turn on you mid-job?

My last mix went from perfect to soup in ten minutes flat. Now I time it like I'm defusing a bomb.

That RAPID breakdown usually means your water ratio was off from the start. Nailing the mix prevents the whole bomb-defusing panic.

Use a scale for exact ratios every time.

Funny, I used to believe the exact ratio wasn't that big a deal. Gray230 is right though, getting that mix wrong is where the real trouble starts.
