Moving into a new series specifically about monolithic materials, this introduction episode shows how castables aren't just dirt in a bag. How is a monolithic different than a brick? What goes into a castable that helps it wet out and flow with so little water? What holds it together at room temperature? All important questions that we discuss here, so listen in now.
