Huge fan of your videos very informative, When I was a teenager I worked with a few brick block masons in Dallas PA I am impressed how well this paint with Portland works did it on my old coal miner home 5 years ago and is still standing strong I stuccoed over it . WIRE IS FOR BRACES LOL (LIKE A DENTIST ). NO BIG DEAL

[@MikeHaduck]

Leer, mike

[@krzysztofsoja5301]

When it dries I would paint it with acrylic primer (at least twice). The colour of the foundation will become deeper plus it will not soak water so much, so no cracking in the winter time. 😉 the layer of paint would become much,much stronger. Acrylic primer is cheap, so another cheap fix. Thanks for the upload Mike. Great as always.

I like your cement paint method... My foundation wall, I'll call it a stem wall... it had cracked lines here and there on the concrete wall, I used mortar mix put on a thin layer with the sponge float, it helped hide a lot of imperfections. I'll try the cement paint trick when the cracks reappear.

Hi Mike I admire your videos. That concrete look is very contemporary look, on the interior also. I have a 3 story tall column in my place. I'd like to have that concrete effect. Can you use your painting technique on an already painted interior drywall? Or, if I need to have a little more texture, will a concrete skim coat hold up on the same surface. If either works, should I wet before applying? Thanks in advance, Jim

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jim, drywall are a whole different issue, I would talk with some local experts on that situation, thanks Mike

Hi Mike. I just repaired some blowouts on a cinder block wall, using your advice..thks.. Question is..I have some high spots that I need to grind down, I only have a 3350rpm 7" sander disc and a 4 1/2" 11,000rpm disc grinder to use. Any sugesstions on how to grind those high spots down so it looks pretty flush? Thks as always for your time and expertise..jc

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi jc, I can't say unless I was there to see it, I am sure you will do fine, thanks Mike

[@samueladams584]

This might be a silly question but I have a similar block built home. The difference is The blocks were painted years ago on my house. Do we have to remove all the paint before using the motar/Portland " paint" method? Thanks for the videos.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Samuel, I don't use mortar or potland paint over real paint, I just patch it up and paint over it with the store bought masonry or stucco paint, thanks Mike

[@richardgoldrich6176]

Mike, have you ever tried rolling your Portland paint on?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Richard, no, it really dosent work, I always use a brush, it gets it in the pours better, thanks Mike

[@g1boy2]

Never knew cement absorbs water like that.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, yep , like a sponge, mike

[@johnbednarski2169]

Mike, I patched concrete steps with rapidset cementall and it came out great. A week later I painted the steps with your Portland cement technique shown here. The Portland looks streaky and blotchy. Should I try using white Portland, or do more coats of regular Portland, or try real paint? Or just be glad the patch worked and have a beer?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi John, you could have a beer and let it be, but if the wife complains then you got to paint it, lol mike

[@johnbednarski2169]

Good advice! Mike Haduck, Masonry and Marriage Consultant.

so why do you sometimes do straight portland to paint it and then sometimes mix it with S? just asking (california guy) also can you mix the white and the regular portland to just lighten it up a bit?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Max, some of the old timers mixed the two, sometimes I do it to match what they did, , I never mix it if it lays flat on a driveway, Portland only fir that, but up and down walls is usually OK to mix, thanks Mike

[@commenting9618]

Not bad.

[@MikeHaduck]

thanks. mike

[@jonathanschearer7778]

Hey Mike, they started selling Masonry lime at my local home store. Would you ever mix that with Portland? Thanks again for these videos, after helping some friends and family some people reached out with good offers on some basic jobs. It’s been a nice side business and beats getting a gym membership to stay in shape.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Jonathan, some guys in jersey still mix lime with Portland but you don’t see it in my parts, I am glad you are doing well, the small jobs are always better than the bigger ones, lol. Thanks mike

[@margerykirner5604]

Mike, will that grinder you use take paint off of cinder block? Thank you.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Margery, I have example in this series, thanks Mike

[@campbejouc]

I the like the brick as a rasper tool. Aside from appearance "freshen" effect of the portland paint - is there any net benefit to the paint in terms of protection? that is would original cinder block have been better off not painting such at all?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi James, no , I would say it is a cheap fix, and cinder block fall apart fast so it is just a way of keeping it up. my opinion, mike

[@bonanzatime]

I used to for the old man, mostly residential work, cavity walls, veneers, fireplaces, chimneys, and occasionally front stoops when the builder called for it. So instead of going buying a few extra bags of Type S 'masonry cenent', he'd just add a couple of extra shovels of Portland cement to the Type N mortar for that flat work. One time I had to go back a month or two later to replace a couple of bricks that got chipped when a dropped a big ladder on the steps. Well there must have been some kind of chemical reaction because there was like some kind od silicone like substance between the mortar and the bricks and filling all the voids.?! it wasn't visible from the outside.?!?? I don't what the hell? I had a dream about Jesup the night before, I think it was a sign from God.?..

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks bonan, I guess, lol. Mike

[@margerykirner5604]

How do you get paint off cinder block Or can you mortar over the painted cinder block some way? Thank you

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Margery, I show it during the playlist in this series, thanks, Mike

Great job mike what would u do if the house was built in the 1890 and bricks are soft ?? What u still use s type for stucco finish ?? Thanks

Hi Keven, I see it in Europe, they just patch and patch, and if a section is bad they take out the bad and replace it, just like a dentist, I hope it helps, thanks mike

[@tomt652]

Little confused. Sometimes the paint is just Portland then Portland with S. What is the difference?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi T, mortar was old school tradition, for the sides of masonry buildings, when Portland came around they started to add it, either way on a vertical wall, everyone says different, thanks Mike
