    Patching concrete wall
    I have some spalling areas in my basement concrete wall. I would like to patch themwith Sakrete mortar mix but would like to make it stickier. Can I add a small amount of vinyl floor repair material to the mortar mix to get a stickier patch material?

    Thanks.

    I'd use an acrylic latex polymer additive like you use for thin set. Makes it nice and sticky. Use in place of water.
