Q:Can this be used to seal gap between decorative bricks in vertical surface on front porch? The porch is covered so not exposed to water and no heat sources nearby (no chimney). I will then use a mortar/stucco repair filler over the top.

    A:  I think you could if you apply a mastic or epoxy grout sealer over it. I don't know if it would be an effective water stop on it's own. It's purpose is to fill a gap to avoid excessive sealant material.

          Just what I expected
          I am not using this product for its intended use. I am a quilter and cut it up to replace the very costly Pinmoors used in quilt layering.
