out of date postcrete?
Can I use out of date postcrete, or would I be wasting my time?
I'm laying a small foundation for a brick bbq in the garden and the previous owners of the house left a load of postcrete in the shed. It would be good to save the money on buying new, and it would be good to use it up, but the date on it is 2008.

Depends on its condition, if no lumps would use.
If it has lumps would use at the base of the 'base' . You are going to have to
get rid of it one way or another!0 -

The cement will go off if it gets damp at all and will have no strength, I would suggest taking a small portion of the postcrete and mixing in water and leave to see if it sets hard before wasting time and effort on any big jobs.0
