My experinece with these stores, many brand names, is that you had better
know what you want or need going in.  I took a water heater element in for
replacement.  They guy asked if it was for gas or electric!  Very sad for a
'hardware store' person.

Portland cement.  I am sure someone has posted the 'ingredients' for this
stuff (hytdrostone or some dirivitive) before so it should be in the
archives.  I think some portland cement, gypsum and some other stuff thrown
in.  But check the archives. As long as you know the ingredients, you can
check the bags.
