Hi everyone. I'm going to pour a couple of caps for some block posts I built, but I'm not 100% sure of the mixture I should use to ensure I end up getting a good, solid and smooth cap. I know about needing to use a release agent such as motor oil or diesel fuel and making the form is not a problem either, I'm just looking for a formula for the actual cement material. I've heard portland cement and sand can yield good results. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
