Can I Parge with Sand Mix??

Mar 30, 2007 2 Replies

I need to parge the face of about half a dozen conrete blocks. I have some leftover sand mix. Will it work or do I need mortar?


Parging uses a portland cement and lime/sand mix and is commonly used to cover unsightly exterior brick, where the mortar has turned to sand.

no, you need the lime to make it sticky
