Hi-Bond
School
Mortar
MCAA marks another first by holding its Hi-Bond Mortar School in conjunction with the Summer Executive Board Meeting.
One phase of the MCAA Hi-Bond Mortar School was the outdoor Workshop Session where members mixed, handled and layed brick with the mortar. Roger Bendicit, Oklahoma City, builds the first lead and Captain Bill Smith, Oklahoma City, readies his trowel to assist.
Mixing Hi-Bond was one of the important tasks of the outdoor Workshop. Teams were required to proportion and handle the various ingredients which make up Hi-Bond.
