No Job-Site Mixing-No Color Variations
Medusa Masonry Cements arrive on the job already mill-mixed-ready for just sand and water. No additives needed-no strength reduction due to the addition of pigments. No color variation when the same sand source is used throughout the job. Color is uniform bag after bag.

While the Medusa masonry cement colors shown are close to the actual color, they are not exact due to printing limitations. It is recommended that masonry sample panels be built to make certain of the precise mortar color.
