How to Parge a Concrete Block Wall | SAKRETE Parging Mix How-to Video

[@mattsmith2563]

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.

thanks!

[@js8039]

That’s what I do. Not a dripping wet sponge though. Squeeze all the water out. Just a wet sponge.

I live in the USA. I can't find Parging mix. Does it go by another name?

[@brittanymark9213]

Can parging be done over painted walls or does paint need to be removed before application?

[@tamaracaruso4668]

Also interested in the answer to this question

[@huejanus5505]

It won’t have a very good bond

[@mehdichaparian239]

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?

[@willl560]

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.

[@sdoken]

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.

[@TarzanArmani007]

It's funny how these companies can't find some old granny that needs this done, they just build a nothing wall all day 😆

[@tornandreborn6248]

Ahaha right

[@JasonMatthewsPlusOne]

Is it possible to add colour to this mix?

[@anthonynotarino1996]

I have first coat of parge, I used Type S mortar mix, can this go over that ?

[@77Avadon77]

What temperature does it have to be to apply this?

[@unitedwestand5602]

I can’t find this stuff anywhere in San Jose, California

[@dt2775]

Can you use this over stone and already parged walls that are cracked and uneven?

[@Aggie_Fehr]

Cracked and flaking parging needs to be fully removed before fresh application as far as I know.

[@seansmith8786]

Can I parge a split face CMU to make it smooth?

[@clydestewart1937]

What if u have a painted wall

Hi. I can't seem to find Parging Mix here in the US. Is Sakrete Surface Bong Mix the same?

[@macpharlan6738]

Same, any answer?

[@nickinjersey2]

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

[@Cello69.]

What is the difference between “parging” and a stucco product? Are they the same or similar?

[@PLAGUEofDEMONS]

All I could find is that stucco is more oriented towards a particular finish, parging is "good enough from the curb" kinda finish.

[@jtltet]

That wall is not 3' tall. It's 3 courses at 8" each which is 2'.

[@othername1000]

Is this product available in the US? Everything I see appears to be north of civilization

[@tenzindolma6727]

Hi, can I use use it resurface concrete steps?

[@ravins3622]

There is resurfer mix also for resurfacing steps and patios

[@jpritch2]

would this work on a seawall that will eventually be underwater?

[@desireestinson]

what if you can only access one side of the cinder block wall? i have a cinderblock wall butted up to a hillside.

[@jl-5188]

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?

[@desireestinson]

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.

[@dallashill23]

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.

[@desireestinson]

Lopside thank you!

[@Danny-ju2ip]

@@dallashill23 shouldn't it be sealed after drying to keep moisture out

[@paulcarbone1969]

Too bad they don't sell it anymore?

[@Arriscraft]

no brush always a sponge!

[@janetteshelly905]

How can I get this video spoken or subtitled in Spanish?

[@tat4570]

Ну она оказалась права. Бездарность вылез на сцену 😂 и помоготь не пришлось.

[@paulcarbone1969]

I should have said they don't sell it in the U.S.

[@Danny-ju2ip]

Then what do I use ? Portland and sand ?

[@block8959]

Omg, I wanted to throw up watching who ever was applying and finish sponging the parged wall.

[@baldbearded9601]

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?

[@TheRealBozz]

Pretty lonely looking wall...

[@lindaterrace9024]

Can this mixture be applied to a painted surface
