A: QUIKRETE® Mortar Repair sealant is not suitable for bonding with wood. Filling joints between dissimilar materials is best done with a permanently-flexible material like QUIKRETE® Non-Sag Sealant.

Answer This Question
A: QUIKRETE® Mortar Repair can be used, but this is not a cementitious based product – it is not structural, nor is it as durable as standard cementitious masonry mortars. The joint must be sound, clean, dry, and free of any dust, dirt, loose debris, and any other potential bond breakers. When making repairs, getting a good color match can be difficult - we always recommend trialing a small quantity of the repair material in an inconspicuous area, and allowing it to cure for at least 24 hours to determine whether the color and overall appearance are acceptable under both wet and dry conditions before using the material in less discrete areas. For structural mortar repairs, you may consider QUIKRETE® Mortar Mix Type N (No. 1102).
