fleurflace Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi, Could anyone enlighten us as to the name of the product used to patch up between old stone work internally. Apparently it is sandable and is not the usual sand and cement mixthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Korrigan Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hello, I am fascinated...Why do you need to use this instead of sand and cement/chaux? What is its use...?Sounds like money to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Parex! You can get a colour chart from your builders' merchants but you will probably find that they only stock the local popular colour. You mix it with water, put it in the joints with a plasterers trowel or cat's tongue and then, when NEARLY dry, rub it back with a scrubbing brush or wire brush and then paint brush. I've been doing it all day today!! Looks great!The sacks are 25 kg and cost around 13 euro each.Sorry, can't do apostrophes after a bottle of wine!

Ssc Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Is this for internal walls only or can it be used outside? I have to repoint the front of my house and need something with a consistent colour.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobc Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 "Is this for internal walls only or can it be used outside? I have to repoint the front of my house and need something with a consistent colour."Parex is fine for external walls but is more expensive than using sand/cement/lime.The advantage is that you can carry out the work in small batches and be guaranteed of a consistant colour.With sand/cement/lime, then any variation in the mix will result in a patchwork of pointing.Regards,Bob Clarkehttp://perso.wanadoo.fr/grindoux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
