Quikrete Mason Mix Type S is a high-strength, commercial-grade mortar mix designed for structural masonry where superior bond and durability are required. This is a pre-blended mix of Portland cement, hydrated lime, and properly graded masonry sand, meaning you only need to add water to get started. Its Type S designation means it meets a high compressive strength of 1800 PSI, making it ideal for below-grade applications like foundations, retaining walls, and any structure that needs to resist lateral wind or soil pressure. It handles beautifully on the trowel, offering the workability needed for laying brick, block, and stone, providing both the strength of an industrial mix and the ease of a simple, just-add-water product.

Additional Information
When mixing this Type S mortar, resist the urge to add too much water to make it more spreadable; over-watering drastically reduces the final strength and bonding ability. Aim for a consistency where the mortar clings to the trowel when held nearly vertical, which indicates the proper firmness for a strong joint. Also, be sure to dampen the surface of the brick or block units you are laying before applying the mortar. This prevents the dry masonry unit from sucking water out of the mortar too quickly, ensuring proper hydration and a strong, long-lasting bond.
