Description from the creator

This video shows how to parge and plaster your basement or foundation walls with a mortar skim coat to prevent leaks and flooding. Parging is a layer of mortar that you trowel or plaster onto your walls in order to provide a clean, flat surface for painting. It also protects your wall and acts as a moisture barrier.
