I was laying block on a garage wall outside Fresno last Tuesday and the guy dropping off the mud saw me fighting the mix the whole morning. He walked over and said "wet down that board first, the dry plywood is sucking the water right out of your mortar" and the difference was instant. Do you all wet your boards every time, or is it more of a hot weather thing?
