MEECO'S RED DEVIL 1353 Furnace Cement and Fireplace Mortar

Easy to use and great results when I completed the job

Easy to work with and does his job. P

This mortar is easy to spread. I used a spackling blade and it did quite well. I bought it to seal some minor cracks in the cement floor of my fireplace. It filled the cracks well and set up hard. I won't be using the fireplace until winter sets in, but I'm sure this will alleviate my problem. I plan to go back in a few weeks and spread some more where I may have missed very small cracks and to top off some of the larger ones that have already been filled. I am pleased with the results so far and I look forward to putting it to the test when fire season arrives.

We used this for an entirely off label purpose...sealing wall gaps so critters couldn't get in our apartment. For about 2 months we dealt with a single industrious field mouse. We figured out where he was coming in - having created a 1/2" custom door for himself in our kitchen. Never stayed there though - kept traveling to our living room, and making his home under our brand new couch which he chewed a hole through the side of! Never wanted one of God's creatures DEAD so bad in my life!!! We laid traps. We soaked the house in peppermint. We tried foam insulation on any little crevice we found throughout the entire house - was incredibly insulting to literally watch him chew through the insulation at his favorite entry point. We put poison in his favorite entry point. We were beginning to think he was laughing at us with an old school bwahahaha! We tried wood shims and Spackle - chewed through that too! Amazed that the little bastard hadn't worn down his teeth we considered a stakeout with a tomahawk to give him a chop! Then as a final last ditch effort before insisting that our landlord fumigate the joint we tried what we now like to call The Red Devil bwahahaha! Made sure his tiny butt was out of the house - he thought he could come and go as he pleased so he would leave in the day & come back at night. Then we laid down the cement - shoving it into every crevice we could find...layering it over the insulation he hadn't eaten through. Then we waited. For two nights we listened to him attempting to break through. We could tell from his noises that he was disgruntled and upset as his repeated efforts failed. When the third night came there was silence. Beautiful, blessed silence. We've not seen / heard from him again. Still a bit paranoid so I have my hubby check for any signs of him, and there has never been another sign of him. Painted over the cement easily. Can't tell we ever did anything. Steam cleaned all of the carpet. Put a side table next to the couch to hide the upholstery tear until we can afford another couch. Now finally at peace that the little beast is forever gone. Hallelujah!

Purchased this product to repair fireplace floor. Had high expectations based on the good reviews. My repair was fairly large and about 0.5in in depth—because of this, I applied in small layers multiple times over the course of a few weeks allowing time to dry in between layers. Once the repair was complete, it was approximately 2 months before we lit the first fire. (This was an off season project). After the first fire that was 3 wood logs and a creosote log, I realized it had bubbled up everywhere.Thought it may be an error oh my part in some way, however, my father also used the same product at the same time for a much smaller repair. He has the same results—bubbling despite following directions and allowing AMPLE dry time.This product is not cheap. I ended up buying multiple to complete the project only for it to end up being a complete waste of time and money.

To seal bricks in fireplace. Followed directions. Went on easily and smoothly. Directions say no fire for 48 hours. Due to a warm spell, did not start a fire for one week. For some reason the mortar bubbled. Hard bubbles that crack when touched.

Went on easy,after curing it was hard as steel

Product may be fine, I don’t know. What I know is that both container are cheaply made, one arrived split down the side, the other arrived with top open. When I tried to salvage any of the product by removing spilt product, lids would not reseal or close. Sad thing about this, customer orders product with job waiting product arrives like this and then it’s a pain in the rear end to get new product reshipped.
