Ready-To-Use Concrete Mix

QUIKRETE Concrete Mix is a pre-blended mixture of cement and aggregates for general structural uses, requiring only the addition of water 

QUIKRETE Concrete Mix can be mechanically mixed in a barrel type concrete mixer or a mortar mixer.  Choose the mixer size most appropriate for the size of the job to be done. Allow at least 1 ft3 (28.3 L) of mixer capacity for each 80 lb (36.2 kg) bag of QUIKRETE Concrete Mix to be mixed at one time.  For each 80 lb 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag of QUIKRETE Concrete Mix to be mixed, add approximately 4 pt (1.9 L) of fresh water to the mixer.  Turn on the mixer and begin adding the concrete to the mixer. If the material becomes too difficult to mix, add additional water until a workable mix is obtained.  If a slump cone is available, adjust water to achieve a 2 in to 3 in (50 mm to 75 mm) slump.

QUIKRETE Concrete Mix may also be mixed by hand.  Empty concrete bags into a suitable mixing container.  For each 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag of mix, add approximately 4 pt (1.9 L) of clean water.  Work the mix with a shovel, rake or hoe and add water as needed until a stiff, moldable consistency is achieved.  Be sure there are no dry pockets of material.  Do not leave standing puddles of water.

Final water content should be approximately 4 pt to 7 pt (1.9 L to 3.3 L) of water per 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag of concrete.
