[TowerTalk] Grouting a New Tower?

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  I recently put up a US Tower HDX-589 crank-up.  UST  recommends grouting 
the 
the space between the base plate and the top of the  foundation block.  I 
have purchased the proper non-shrink construction  grout and am getting 
ready 
to do the job.  But I'm concerned because I  used this stuff to patch my 
house foundation before, and it sets up so  quickly I'm not sure how much I 
should mix up at a  time.

I haven't seen any that set up THAT fast.  There's plenty of time in my 
experience. 
 
    You have to mix it pretty stiff so that it doesn't  run; e.g. the 
consistency of plastic. The fully cured strength looks like  over 10 kpsi so it's 
plenty strong enough.
