No, he recomended mixing and laying wet. He said that the mortar goes pretty far when you go that thin. When it is wet it gives you the quick leveling power that saves you the time. We will be trying it with about 1-2" of mud. I think the depth will all depend on how accurate you are with the base. His instructions were to have one guy mixing and spreading, one guy carrying block and third laying.

Hang your string and lay right to it, then move on. It takes a guy about 15 minutes to mix a bag of mud by hand, how long does it take you to level one block on sand?

I will be mixing 3 bags at a shot in a mixer, I figure that should go around 30-35'. I am guesing that 3 guys when up to speed should be able to keep up with one another.

What do you think?
