Is D-mix appropriate to use in bathrooms? I don’t want to have a weak bond or the paint peel due to steam condensing on the walls. I am trying to smooth out the wall surfaces.
TIA.

it has coffee in it ? caf or de-caf ?" I just looked into the past and someone adds plaster to this mix I found the coffee procedure too ! but, wtf is D-mix
Edited 7/8/2005 1:30 pm ET by maddog
coffee talk became a joke because the initial author about the dmix used a dunkin donuts small coffee cup as a measuring for the plaster of paris ingredient.
Little play on words is all.
no coffee in the mix unless you wanted to try making a tan stain into it:o)

What IS the original recipe for D-mix? It came up while I was on maternity and a search turned up zilch (prospero doesn't seem to like me).

Free of coffee.
But I suppose if one wanted to experiment with earthtones...;o)

can I buy you a cup o' joe?
I have no idea what cup o" joe is...But I say yes.
Nothing to be excited or afraid of the unknown (cup o' Joe)..
..I will never see it anyway.
Even if you buy it for me...you probably give it to Razzman.
Better ask him.
Cup of joe is "tazza di caffè"

katalava. Auto einai kafes .
You understand Italian yes, but you answer in Greek?
I'll have my kafes sketos.
Sorry I don't know Greek (or Italian either)
Some.
The funny thing is ..back in the old country.. for some strange reason
they use to teach you only French.
Thanks America for all the street signs and Breaktime for ...the rest.
And here is some of my finest Greek Poetry translated by by ..me.
Hold your horses.
"My Neighbors toilet."
Gray sky's, mix clouds
Mysterious ocean's and monster waves.
And me...
Continuation of unknown fountain
toy in the hand's of good and evil.
In my dreams again the python hag me.
In my dreams again the Demons and the Cyclopes.
Gray sky's, mix clouds
Mysterious ocean's and monster waves.
And me...
Continuation of unknown fountain
Reason for existent of Gods and Devils.
In my dreams again the python hag me.
But... my dreams interrupted by....
My neighbors toilet.

Dino my friend..being as we are sharing poetry..here is one of mine
We walked down all the rythems. we tread on our leaves.
softly, with care we solve our intrracacyies.
Deep in ponder we wonder why
knowing all along it is nothing but us
working our love toward each other
uphill, battle..name it and see it..it is still an illusion
no matter what
Fire in the heart is often used as an excuse
to be free in the moment is expansive and expensive as well
What with do we create our reality..do we own it?
do we buy it?
After all, it is only you that matters
Reach out, touch someone..share with them your light..your visions, your soul..they need it as much as you need to shed it...
Cry out..cry..just wonder why..touch it,,,feel it....relive it until it is clear to you and everyone around you, that you are universally loved by all that is. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
I will keep your poem as one liner.
What with do we create our reality..do we own it?
do we buy it?
The one line poem's was an ancient art that start from Persian. (Iran)
When you find a strong philosophical point in one line..keep it and forget the rest.
Thank you..I am a big fan of Rumi, a Persian whirling dervish.
enjoy. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
I remember one short Persian poem?
I ask the almond tree,. what is God?
And she blossum
Feel free to correct me here. Is one thing not to speak English,
Is murder to translate a nice poem ...with bad English.
Edit to correct blossum.
Edited 7/9/2005 5:36 pm ET by YCFriend
It needs to be "blossum(S) or Blossum(ED) in my mind..you do a lot better than I do with my Mexican worker friends, my Spanish is TERRIBLE. LOL Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
I think I correct it.
This is funny. I have many Spanish guys over the years. And for some time my partner was Spanish. The only thing I learn was..Amigo.
Then I criticize some of them why they don't speak better English.
Yes Sir.
What with do we create our reality..do we own it?
do we buy it?
You see? It's EZ to remember the short ones.
Bueno. (G) Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
Great!
Now I'm sure the breaktime poets will show up. Sometimes you get some strange poetry here! Just start one line and let someone else take over, no one knows what it will end up like.
I had to make a cup of strong american black coffee. Very good, but not the same as the Greek or Turkish coffee which I don't get very often.
hey Mark,,,
The yellow liquids of dogs feed my mind
not careing, not aiming..expulsion is both here and now
Mark your space in this place..a lifetime of pee..you own it once you place it away from yourself..it lives
Maddy was a trip...she had gold pupils..fire in a vacuum. Lost. I tried to dive in..a wall of pain..my soul went south in a breeze of liquidity..flowing like a dog peeing on thge wheels of someone elses life.

I really don't know what to say. You obviously are the artist! I never cease to be amazed...
I'm not the artist, just a hack.
no..not really..just train of thought streams that get derailed frequently...LOL
Some wind up being a verse in another song..just just hang around waiting for a tune to add, some just disappear in the "book"..I have a friendly name for my compilation of notebooks FULL of Shid..
I am actually getting the DW to help collate and edit over 600 pages of work..it will be self published and titled
"This isn't Prose."
I need my income to have a spike, being as it is all written already, it just needs to be published.
Thanks for the compliment tho'..wait'll I get the rest together. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
Good luck on the book, but it seems you have to be famous already to make any money on them. I really need to find a way to get an income spike, things gettin bad here. I be writin the blues soon...
ah grasshopper..the secret is suicide first then get famous..( KIDDING).. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
If I ever make a bunch of money, I'm dang sure going to be here to waste it.
For about 5 years back in my late teens into early twenties I'd spent the time immersed somewhat in the various drugs of the time before I stopped never to return to that strange land.
I remember a poem I had written back then.
In honor of your literary works I'll share it here...'neath patterns on the kitchen floor
there lies a tile grey.
With grease and grime, and puke that's mine
I roll over to face another day.be drenched in dunkin' donut's coffee and Ouzo

LMAO..
you got talent..share more with the world, after all, we all know the feeling. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
What are dreadlocks made from?
yes he just might end up with "it"until then, "it" is just ...... coffee !"
OK. I lost the coffe.
Can you tell me about Joe? Is that a military thing?
Thanks for the offer. You never know.
no idea where "joe" is from, possibly mil. probably Navymight be derived from "java""
cup of joe ......I found some reference to this slang that you asked me about. In 1914, Adm Josephus Daniels banned the wine in the officers' mess onboard naval ships, everyone started drinking coffee and presumably began referring to coffee as "a cup of Joe""
Man, has this post gone off on a tangent! Thanks to all for the help & humor; I am going to give d-mix a try tomorrow.
James
you make a tangent sound like an unusual thing here...
At the very last stage of finishing
you can throw some dry colors on the wall.
Then you can paint the whole thing...white.
you can throw some dry colors on the wall.
Now you're talking like an 'artiste'. If you broadcast dry colors onto the wet mix, then trowel lightly, will you get a marbled finish?
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.
Why? what do you thing we're here? We build and create every day.
We're the real artistas. If I thought construction wasn't art..I be a full time poet or something else.
You can try to throw some stuff on the wall, right before the very final passes with the trowel. Before that it will blend in and become one color.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I knew someone would like my poem.
Edit: will to would.
Thanks

Small correction D..
We could say someone WOULD..like my poem..sorry if I offended you..just helping.
Hey on that jamb ext thread..you say to rip 5/4 ..would the EZ allow a RESAW type operation? On edge? Like that?

Offended me?? Looooong way to go. This is free lessons and I welcome anything I can learn.
Resawn the 5/4 on the ez you will need 10" CS.. This is one thing that we left for the tablesaw.
We have a small delay on the new router system. Few more days.
Thanks.
