How do I cover the brick on my front porch with cement?
The sides of my porch are made of brick that is breaking. How do I cover it with cement to give it a smooth look?
Answer:
Actually, a wetter mix of cement will adhere better than a stiff mix. Found this out through trial and error while patching my stucco, a stiff mix will just fall off. You can do this, just trowel it on. If you find it's not working, you might need to tack on some wire mesh. However, I agree that this would only be a temporary fix, it will soon start cracking along with the brick. I'd go with some other kind of veneer, T-111 or siding, something that won't crack with the brick. Just tack on some furring strips for nailer then put up whatever veneer you want.
