Quikwall Surface Bonding Cement

Hello Monika, Surface bonding cement can be a good construction technique. I like the ability to adjust the blocks until the bond beam or the stucco is applied. For me this has always been easier than setting each block in a mortar bed. Quikwall is the most prominent product of the surface bonding cements but I don't believe it is the best. I have had customers across the country report mixed results with it. Sometimes it has been outdated bags other times it looks like the product has been leaned out as much as possible for value engineering. Lately I have been suggesting to people to use any premium product other than Quikwall. There are several brands across the country. Mixing any SBC correctly is very important. If you can use a small mortar mixer it will work better than hand mixing. Another option for fencing that I have seen is to do the dry stack block and then fill several of the cores like a regular block wall. With this approach people often save money by using fibered stucco over the blocks because they don't need all of the structural fibers or waterproofing additives in the SBC mix..
