Fischer 523856 Express Mortar Cement Grey

Item arrived on time, have used this product many times, recommend it.

A tad dear for what it is, that said it is good and easy the use

I purchased this to repair a garden wall where top bricks are coming loose , there is mortar missing and needed filling, it is a very light grey but blends in well . I was surprised by how easy it is to use , and got a really good finish, it hasn’t set and will probably take a few days as it’s not very warm but no different to mortar but is so much easier. The applicator supplied works really well too 👌

This product is only suitable for very small & time consuming repairs where it is not practical or economic to use in larger volumes.Top Tip 1If you need more than 250ml of mortar buy a larger ready mix tub or mix your own mortar pared down by volume.WarningIf you are working precisely using your cartridge gun this product will test your strength and patience. It is difficult to get it out of the tube.Top Tip 2I recommend juggling or rolling the cartridge vigourisly before inserting the cartidge in the gun. This activates the product and makes squeezing easier and less difficult.Top Tip 3If you want around half a cartidge volume of mortar at a single time I find it much easier to ditch the gun.You will find cutting the cartridge longways with a knife much simpler and easier. You can then use each half cartridge very quickly and much more easily. Each half cartridge is a very useful size to hold and this is good for smaller repointing jobs where only a very limited repair is required especially at height.Hope this helps you to decide whether this is the right product for you.

This stuff is amazing and very convenient to use , but if you think you're only need one ( buy two) 👍

Despite being labelled as good till May 26, even using a professional gun with the wide applicator supplied and the application of serious force I was unable to get the product out of the tube. It was too dense. As I had already prepared the work needed and had to finish the job I had to cut the end of the tube off with a hacksaw and dispense the cement into a container to use from there. All very messy. Suggest easier just to get a small bag of dry mix and make up yourself. Not worth buying.

Not tried this method before, worked well..... except you need a sturdy gun, broke my cheaper guns (twice) before getting a heavier gauge metal frame one.

Repairability:Easy to use for small repair jobs around slabs, just have a trowel handy when flushing the cement off.Speed:Repair jobs done with ease and dries quickly. Why did you choose this product over others?:Price!
