RE: New at Piping Design Central: Machinery Grouting

I did send crayons. You have eaten them again, havent you? That smile probably will have to be wiped off your face. I like your idea of 100' grouting margin. Would you recommend cementitious dry pack or not shrink epoxy. However it will probably impact on my new patented product called Neg(ative) Gro(ut), which is especially formulated for use on overheight footings. The primary active ingredient is 100% hydrofluoric acid. I am having a few government acceptance test problems; the lab rats keep dying and the scientists glasses keep dissolving. However a cigarette company has offered to help with the testing and can see no hazard.

Cheers

Steve

Since Steve didn't send me the promised crayons, the following is only in black and white:

Please also excuse the linework/writing. Since CAD I have lost all ability to be coherent without a computer.
