Forum Support Mike J Posted December 31, 2018 Forum Support Posted December 31, 2018 Boysen makes two products for small cracks or as a fine final skim coat. Masonry putty for interior use, and Acrytex for exterior walls. I have used the Masonry putty with good results. I have not used the Acrytex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tukaram (Tim) Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 All the cement here seems to get those cracks. I just paid Uncle to patch/paint the walls while I was visiting the US. Not sure how much it was... I sent my wife $500 (USD) for the monthly expenses and somehow she paid the bills, got the walls patched & painted, and got a new tin roof on the porch! The walls could not have been too expensive ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
