A trick to make parge look Professional is using a sponge. Trowel it on domt have to be perfect just get the thickness close. Let it cure a bit and use a wet sponge going in circles with very little pressure to take out any imperfections.
Thank you for this great video. I have a question. It is written on the bag structure that "Mix and substrate temperatures should be maintained between 5 C and 30 C for at least 24 hours prior to and 48 hours after". I want to fix my house foundation wall by using first hydraulic cement for filling cracks and then covering with Sakrete parging mix and painting it at the end of process. The place that I am located is cold and sometimes temperature is minus these days and it is mandatory for me to fix my house foundation before winter time! Can I use it without any problem?
I believe you can find other options with can be applied under other conditions. Go to the Sackrette web site or your hardware store for more options. I was surprised by the many options and cement solutions.
Sakrete Surface Bonding Cement is what I used. It worked great. The Grey Bag. Its dries Grey too. The big box stores carry it. Quickrete has a similiar product called Quickwall. @@macpharlan6738
Then only put parging on one side! Obviously, if you want to parge the side of the wall that's against the hillside, you'll have to dig that out. How was that not obvious? Did you vote for The Rump?
JL - because of concern of moisture pushing thru from other side. My question wasn’t clear so I’ll give you that. Your type of response makes it pretty clear the type of person you are. Have a nice day.
Desiree Stinson you can still parge the one side, it’ll be porous all the way through, what you don’t want to do is put a roll on sealer or paint because that will eventually peak off.
Cover in plastic for 3 days? You can't say this with a straight face and expect everyone parging a house foundation to wrap up each house for 3 days haha?
Great video! The format is straight and to the point, i wish all how to videos were this good. Thanks for posting.

thanks!
That’s what I do. Not a dripping wet sponge though. Squeeze all the water out. Just a wet sponge.
What about adding textures to hide my terrible job?
😂😂

Excellent video from a top notch company
I live in the USA. I can't find Parging mix. Does it go by another name?
Can parging be done over painted walls or does paint need to be removed before application?
Also interested in the answer to this question
It won’t have a very good bond
AWESOME videos. Just the one you'd be looking for. thank you for sharing and posting this video it really is excellent
Thank you for sharing, very helpful and informative.
I have first coat of parge, I used Type S mortar mix, can this go over that ?
Can you use this over stone and already parged walls that are cracked and uneven?
Cracked and flaking parging needs to be fully removed before fresh application as far as I know.
Thank you for this great video. I have a question.

did you do it? how did it go? technically hydraulic cement is meant for plugging holes and not for skimcoating so I am curious how it went for you.
Is it possible to add colour to this mix?
What temperature does it have to be to apply this?
Hi. I can't seem to find Parging Mix here in the US. Is Sakrete Surface Bong Mix the same?
Same, any answer?

Can I parge a split face CMU to make it smooth?
I can’t find this stuff anywhere in San Jose, California
Thanks for posting. Well explained! Easy to follow instructions.
Is wire needed under the concrete spread ?
What is the difference between “parging” and a stucco product? Are they the same or similar?
All I could find is that stucco is more oriented towards a particular finish, parging is "good enough from the curb" kinda finish.
Do you require a bonding agent >
Is this product available in the US? Everything I see appears to be north of civilization
What if u have a painted wall
It won’t make a good bond
what if you can only access one side of the cinder block wall? i have a cinderblock wall butted up to a hillside.

Lopside thank you!
@@dallashill23 shouldn't it be sealed after drying to keep moisture out
would this work on a seawall that will eventually be underwater?
Hi, can I use use it resurface concrete steps?
There is resurfer mix also for resurfacing steps and patios
How to make block steps into complete cemented steps
It's funny how these companies can't find some old granny that needs this done, they just build a nothing wall all day 😆
Ahaha right
Wow thank goodness you had 4 separate Tupperware containers for a visual
That wall is not 3' tall. It's 3 courses at 8" each which is 2'.
How can I get this video spoken or subtitled in Spanish?
Too bad they don't sell it anymore?
no brush always a sponge!
I should have said they don't sell it in the U.S.
Then what do I use ? Portland and sand ?
Omg, I wanted to throw up watching who ever was applying and finish sponging the parged wall.

Ну она оказалась права. Бездарность вылез на сцену 😂 и помоготь не пришлось.
Pretty lonely looking wall...
Can this mixture be applied to a painted surface
