I have recently found the quick hardening nature of Hydraulic cement to be very useful for patching things like my fieldstone fuoundation in areas where a regular mortar mix or concrete would tend to slide off.
The quick setting nature allows me to shape it in ways that either I couldn't do with ordinary mortar or concrete or that would require complex forms.
Other than the expense of hydraulic cement, is this a "legitimate" use or is hydraulic cement deficient to mortar or cement in structural ways that I will come to regret? (note none of my uses require extremely high compression or strength ratings)
If this is a proper use, then I must say that hydraulic cement is a great short-cut solution for small handyman repairs.
Thanks
