The (Inside) Surface Bonding

Ah, surface bonding.

First Sam puts a 50lb bag of surface bonding cement (Quickwall) into the wheelbarrow.
Then he adds water and starts mixing. It's hard labor to get it all mixed up.


Eventually it turns into this sludge that he spreads over the concrete blocks.
He gets some sludge on the trowel...
...and starts spreading the sludge on the concrete blocks. It's messy.

It's important to really get it in the blocks and crevices.
The entire interior wall needed to be covered. So. Much. Wall.
This is what it looks like after it has cured.
Sam almost perfectly calculated the amount of surface bonding needed. We ran out with this much left. Sadness.

Money Spent: $178
$ 178 7 50lb bags of Quikcrete Surface Bonding Cement
