Ideal for my needs

Unlike other reviews, the tube was not out of date and had a production date of the same month/year as when I purchased. I thought this would be good for getting into the cracks between slabs, however the screw on funnel made dispensing a completely glacial pace and practically unusable. I took off the funnel and used without, but felt this defeated the purpose of buying this instead of a large bucket of the stuff for the same money. This tube really does not go far. I didn't have any problem with how quickly it dried - it was dry with hours. Not sure yet how it will last.

I used it in the UK when it was 14 Celsius outside after it had been dry for a day or so. The tube was perfectly soft and easier with a manual applicator gun to get out than bathroom silicone sealant has been. I wetted the brick surfaces before applying it and smooshed it with fingers into cracks, skimming over with plastic old loyalty store card. It did a brill job of filling in screws holes in bricks, bits of broken missing mortar and about doors were mortar has fallen off from them slamming over the years. Way easier than mixing mortar in a bucket and far superior stick to the surface. This was my first time using mortar in a tube for small jobs and I’m a convert. It’s saved me a fortune in getting someone out to do it.

This stuff is excellent. Slightly soft in texture when it leaves the tube but dried really quickly and matched in perfectly. This is definitely my go to now for minor mortar issues. No more bucket mixing and wastage. My builder friend was amazing, cement in a tube, who'd have believed it!!!

I bought two tubes of this & one pot of powder cement.Honestly constipation comes out quicker than this cement in a tube 😩I have an applicator and it still barely moved. After pumping the applicator about 20 times I still only managed to get 2 cms of cement to come out.I’m so glad I bought the pot of powered cement because that’s what I had to turn to to fix my brick wall.Absolute waste of money & time.I would 100% not recommend this.Also the cement is very sandy & bitty I can’t imagine it lasting through to much wet or cold weather

Found it difficult to use. As either a small stone/object or some of the cement formed into a small lump inside the tube, so when I squeezed the trigger on the gun it led to the tube splitting and most of the contents coming out of the back of it instead of through the nozzle. Scrapped out as much of the cement as possible and tried to use it, but it had almost set by the time I had messed about so I would say that a large part of the cement ended up it a rubble sack. The small amount I did use seems to be ok. Jury is out on this one for me anyway.

I used this for re- pointing a few places and found it easy to use and had a great finish. Very happy.

Previous reviews said it was difficult to squeeze out but flowed just fine for me. I used it for a challenging application, to repair a broken clay roof tile from inside the loft. I couldn’t easily fit the tile fragment (hole was maybe 5cm by 7cm) but wedged it in after coating the fragment with very liberal amount (the whole tube) of the product (had to dampen it first and coat it with my finger as it didn’t stick so well straight out of the tube. Then used a second tube to fill all around the joints. Anyway it worked quite well for a bit of a botch to repair a very small hole in the roof. For now anyway !
