RJ,
So you just paint this onto the wall without actually grinding out the
mortar joints and packing in fresh mortar?
Does this do anything more than just a cosmetic treatment? Does it
actually stop water seepage?
sounds interesting.

This sounds to me like a parging mixture intended to cover old concrete. I am
guessing the function of the salt and the soap flakes is to help the stuff
stick to the old concrete. Quarter of a cup of rock salt in a couple

what purpose do the ivory flakes perform? Is it for a wax component to the

RJ,
thanks. I am just curious as I've noticed some rotting mortar joints in
my basement. I had the entire outside of the house pointed last year, and
am now considering what to do, if anything, about the foundation.

I used this method on several rock foundations and always got good results.
Also used it on my new foundation, which is cement blocks before painting. We
are pleased with the results.

Hello,
What is tuck pointing? We're being told that this has to be done to our
basement because there are cracks along the walls, and water is seeping in.
If we don't do this, the house or foundation could begin to sink in?
Is this correct?
