Foundation Parging mixing formulas

Jul 14, 2003 0 Replies

I am in the process of chipping off the old parget coat



on my brick foundation and reparging it.



I've herd varying formulas for the mix. Everything from


1/2 Portland & 1/2 sand to 1pt. Portland (type n), 1/4 pt

lime & 3pts sand.



What is the best mix, is it measured by weight or volume



and which cement? (Type I, II, III masonry cement) or



(Type N, S or M Portland cement)
