About 25 years ago I remember a redimix stucco product called Surewall (or
Sure-Wall or Shurwall or something like that). It had glass fiber strands
in it and it dried white. It's claim to fame was that you could dry stack
concrete blocks and coat with this product to produce a structural wall. I
have been unable to find mention of this product in any internet searches.
My situation is this: I own an older home that has been added on to four
times and has about two feet of exposed block stem wall that is old, new,
painted and unpainted. In other words it doesn't match the siding and has
some cracks and voids. I want to do this project myself and don't want to
go with a full blown lath/scratch coat/stucco coat. Has anyone heard of
this product or recommend a similar one?

If I were in your place I would pull out the Yellow pages and call the local
lumber yard that sells concrete blocks and ask the sales people your question.
If they didn't have an answer for you they would probably be able to point you
in the right direction. I think the stuff you are looking for is still
available. I have a book put out by Quikrete, "Build and Repair with Concrete,
that describes the product you are looking for. The product is called Quikwall
surface bonding cement.

Hope this helps.

very tough stuff once it hardens. I applied it to an inconspicuous part of
my house as a test and discovered it will be a major effort to remove.

Thanks Bob, I found the web site for Bonsal Co. and they had all the spec.
sheets for Surewall online. Now I just need to locate a local supplier that
carries it and I'll be in business.
Thanks to all who replied.

Home Depot and Lowe's carry these, called "surface bonding cement".

I used q bond 20 years ago to fix a 120 yr old cabin that was built into a hillside, the hillside was trying to retake the house. Qbond was excellant...people told me you couldn't rebuild from the inside and waterproof...but it worked...I'd like some more...i notice something from quickrete that has fiberglass fibers
