Warning. Poor cement quality!

A few weeks ago I bought some pre-mixed sand and cement from Bunnings. It was made by 'Australian Builders'

Well it was absolute crap. I mixed it very carefully according to the instructions and when it 'set' I found it was still very soft and crumbly.

I picked up a small dried lump of it (3 days afterwards) which was left over from the job I was doing and I was able to grind it into a very fine dust just between my thumb and index finger!

I took the rest back to Bunnings for a refund and I will be using Blue Circle cement/sand mix for a flooring job I am about to start.
