523858 Express Cement-Sand

Love this product. Although a little tough to get out of the tube initially - I cut a bigger hole and was much easier. Easy to work with and dried quickly the results are amazing. I’ve bought a couple of extra tubes to do another project

Good stuff and easy to use, but not the colour of any mortar I've ever used and any repairs stick out like a sore thumb.

Nice colour match with the mortar that was already on my wall. Traditional grey coloured patches look rather conspicuous so this blends in a bit more. Used it on a hot day in the summer. The product went on easily and dried in a few hours.

The "Sand" colour is white sand - actually perfect for lime mortar touch up. But if you are thinking yellow sand, like the packaging implies you will be disappointed.It doesn't go very far - really used up very quicky, so only for small jobs. It dries slower than they suggest, which means if you start working it, it spreads and mars the bricks. Its quite a sticky consistency. Even though I was using it all within a couple of hours, the last inch or more would not come out, so you are losing 10-15% left in the tube.

After I noticed some mortar starting to fall out between the bricks on a very old wall i started looking for options, the obvious option is to buy a mortar bag and mix it but then how do you get it deep in between the bricks I mean you can try and smooth it in but you would never get it all the way in. So went looking for options and found this product among others but settled on this one, now other reviews say it is hard to get out the tube but the ones i got it was super easy so not sure if they had an old or bad batch? it went in easy and after a few days has set hard ( at least as far as i can see ) so will see how it lasts.Now to the issue I observed with the product, after finishing the job there was a small amount left so I did two 1" lengths on a bit of paper and let it set, the first I submerged under water over night and the next day it looked solid but as i pressed it it fell to mush, the 2nd one I used a single drop of water to simulate rain and instantly it sucked up the drop of water and as i picked it up the part where the drop was had weak and a step away from mush. Next is price it seams cheap but as others have said there is not a lot in the tube and it really does not go far.So time will tell how long it will last but I would recommend that you ether use masonry paint or sealer on the repaired area to prevent water ingress.

Got about a 2 inch hole filled and then no more would come out. Not recommended.

Very white can be hard to get out of the tube, worked as expected had to cut the end of the tube off to get the last bit out.

Great stuff used to fill cracks so weeds don't come through worked a treat
