   I guess you should mention what your trying to do.

   Showerpan?
   Stonewall?

   It is for a hard pack base for a brick apron
   outside a patio entry door. (FYI: there is a stone
   base that is already in place i.e. Old driveway
   area.) I want to put the drypack in, screed it to
   the height that I need, and then dry set with a
   tight joint the concrete brick that the customer
   picked out. When the brick is in, I'll probably
   bush in dry material to fill any gaps.

   5:1 clean sand to Type 1 portland . If there are water issues in that spot, perhaps some
   tamped crusher run. It would drain better. All "Drypack" has just enough water to clump together when
   squeezed in the hand.
   You'd be surprised how little water you actually need. Mostly
   you need to get it just wet enough to be workable.

   Henley,When you say, "...tamped crusher run." I'm not
   familiar with that term. Will you explain the
   term please.Thanks

   Crushed gravel. It packs very well and drains well also. Your local yard can fill you in on what they have. I've never used Drypack in the way your talking about(not to say
   others haven't).
   I've poured a concrete slab, Tamped a bed of crusher run, or
   Tamped a bed of sand.

   From an old thread.

   Type I portland is fine.
