    Hi
    You dont need bondcrete.

    Bagging raked brickwork is possible if you fill in the joints first, maybe give it two coats of bagging.
    Do the first coat let it dry, them rub of the first coat to get it flat where the joints are.

    You will find that the mud will buldge where the joints are, no matter what you do. (unless you are after that effect of course.)

    Wet the wall prior to bagging, and keep it wet.

    Mix is 6 to 1.

    Have fun..

    ozwinner is on a role, listen to what he says as he is spot on right...you only need boncrete if it's a chalky surface to seal it and to help the cement adhere or add it to the cement as a binding agent...
    Hurry, slowly
