Q. What is the difference between the Z Liqui-Crete add mix and the Z Counter-Pack add mix?
A. The difference between the two is the consistency of the mix. The Liqui-Crete is designed to use slightly more water, giving you a more flowable mix that will flow throughout the fiberglass mesh reinforcement. If you are using a more traditional reinforcement such as welded wire mesh, you will be better off with Counter-Pack. Both will achieve about 7500psi @ 28 days.
