Re: external brick wall

Hello @jas08 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your external brick wall.

 

Since the wall appears to be in good condition, I suggest using Dingo 10kg Mortar Mix to patch the damage on the wall. I propose using an old toothbrush to stipple the surface of the patch to give it the same texture as your rendered wall. Don't worry about the expanding foam in the wall, however I suggest not moving it any further. Once the mortar goes over it and cures, it should hold the expanding foam in place. 

 

My best advice is to allow the mortar patch to fully cure before you paint over it.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
