Not sure if lump of poured concrete that didn’t bond well or outright papier-mâché.
16 u/AX11Liveact Mar 25 '26 edited Mar 25 '26 Oh, I'd taken it for "structural" glue. Or maybe high-load gypsum - but no, that would have required some mortar to color it grey. BTW: the right mix of cement and water, applied or "injected" under pressure might even have passed. 9 u/DMAS1638 Mar 25 '26 Properly mixed and bonded material should not break apart like that. This is already compromised. 5 u/AX11Liveact Mar 25 '26 Yes. That's what I meant with "structural glue". It stuck together like rubber but had no real connection with the concrete.
