Subject:What Is This? Opinions Welcome
Posted By: Dave H Sun, Aug 28, 2022 IP: 23.230.46.10 Posting this as a long shot that someone may know what it is, used for etc. First this is not mine as a friend sent me the pictures which are of very poor quality. |

Posted By: mikeoz Wed, Aug 31, 2022 Probably a compound of some stone dust and resin. Look for tiny air holes on the underside. |
