"We have successfully used Easy-Spred in approximately 300 jobs and our customers are very satisfied."

George Rabon,

EASY-SPRED saves you money and gets more production out of your mix. It is not a soap or resin, but a formulation of minerals naturally compatible with other basic components of mortar. EASY-SPRED promotes maximum development of mortar volume. One 7 lb. bag of EASY-SPRED will replace one 50 lb. bag of lime.
