liambesaw Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Smash it up with a hammer, soak it in water, then dry it out to the consistency you prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure all the air is out of the bags, and leave it submerged for a few days. But that only works if it's still got some moisture in it. If it's bone dry, break it up, slake it down, dry it out to the correct consistency, then wedge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
