Gbadexy I found this product from Centrecoat. I think this should work like the marble dust.

There is no difference between the marble dust Gbadexy recommended and the one you posted. Quartz and Marble at that fine particle sizes should give almost the same texture.

Those people just want use big grammar and packaging sell market.

Ok.

I always buy 900 bags trailer šŸ˜‚ and this might confuse many other people who do not understand your logic.
I always use teaspoon for my tea and the first example I gave might as well confuse many who use table spoons.

That is why ratio do not have unit.
If your trailer is 900 bags of cement, use 900 x 4 Bags of sand.

Itā€™ll be shocking to hear that Iā€™ve only visited Orile market twice in my whole life.
If it canā€™t be sourced online locally, Iā€™d look for a similar product abroad.

Iā€™m currently expecting the delivery of my scaffold debris net. I searched it online and got what I wanted and asked the supplier to deliver to my site. I donā€™t want to know whether heā€™s coming from Jupiter or the moon.

Anyway, Iā€™ll send people out to get me the dust sha.

Yes. That is why ratio generally does not have units. They cancel out . So we say would 1: 4, instead of saying 1 headpan of cement to 4 headpans of sand.

Perfect, even in building industry some doesnā€™t understand how to explain this

This is it, if you want to do small work that itā€™s not up to ā€œ head panā€ of cement and sand will you now go and use such measurement container ? ā€¦ā€¦ materials waste is the answer.

Have a bit of decency and pay your debts to those you're owing, at least the ones in the public domain.

You lack of care and penchant for showing off needlessly here is not warranted.

You know you've done wrong and coming here to constitute a nuisance is not right. Amend your ways and try and redeem yourself from the scamming, cheating and lying person we all know you to be.

A word is enough for the wise.

Educate me.

Don't get offended....

On paper 1:2:4 for example is eg 1 wheel barrow of cement to, 2 of sand and 4 of granite.

But if you do this in practice, you have a bad mix.

I don't know how to explain it than asking that you try it out.....

Goodluck.

Goodluck.

You are right to an extent. Part of the reason is that there is no uniformity in standard of materials. People source the locally available materials, whether sand, granite or cement for their construction needs. These materials are not always there same.
Differences exist in terms of their composition and aggregate. For instance, the moisture content, impurities, particle sizes and natural composition often differ. These variations will effect mix ratio.
Therefore without experience, it would be naive and counterproductive to go by any standard mix ratio . So, those ratios only serve as guide. In practice, it is advisable to actually go by what is on ground. A little more or a little less from the acceptable ratio.
If one must use ratio, then standard materials must be sourced for consistency . Stores like Home Depot, lowes etc have sand in cement like bags that have pass through quality control from the bagging factory. With those, one canā€™t go wrong with standard mix ratio.
