Dan, It isn't a cure all, but if the mixture is applied thick, it will seal the cracks. AS for applying the mixture, I did take a pressure washer and hose down the blocks or rock foundation first. In areas where the holes were to large, I would mix sand into the formula to cover and patch the holes and the next day, apply the formula without the sand. AS I said on a prior post, before my wife's painted the foundation or cement blocks in our new house, I gave it a coating of the white cement to seal it off. Seeing the foundation was new, it was just a light coat.

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. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
