7 lbs of Easy-Spred outdoes 50 lbs of lime in
• Workability
• Board Life
• Convenience
• Cost Savings

Our little bag of Easy-Spred only outweighs lime in advantages. One easy-to-handle 7 lb bag of Easy-Spred mortar plasticizer outworks a 50 lb bag of lime while producing smoother, creamier, more workable mortar. Spreads like butter for easy tooling of joints and better flow to cross joints-and you won't have to re-butter head joints.

Besides being 7 times easier to pick up, Easy-Spred is also completely non-toxic and won't burn skin or eyes. Its cost is lighter too.

Easy-Spread is naturally compatible with basic ingredients in mortar and is effective for use with brick, block, or stucco.
