Surface repair spalling chimney bricks.

a_gunslinger

We have some chimney bricks that are spalling. Cant afford mason repairs right now. Previous owner had covered some of the spalling brick faces with a gray cement/mortar and it has lasted very very well. Trying to figure out what he used. Looks light gray in color, very hard and seemingly able to be put on thin. I believe he ground out the loose brick surface first then applied. It might even just be cement as it doesnt appear sandy like mortar. Presuming its a cement, any thoughts on best type of cement for brick surface rapir.

I know its not the nest choice but no way can I afford professional repairs right now, and whatever he did on those few bricks has held beuatifully for 10 years.

Thanks

vinyl patching cement. Very smooth and very sticky. Sold in any home store or hardware store.

I doubt it it's a dark gray.
