Just thinking out loud, but, could mixing times be a factor in the brittleness a few people are expreiencing? Meaning the more time you spend actively mixing; adding more water/cement to an overly dry/wet mixture; the more the salt disolves into the water.
If the water molecules are taken up by the sodium and chlorine ions, will they be able to disolve the cement components enough to create the reaction needed to properly cure the cement?
Wow, this almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about.
