The most common way to make your own parging mix is to use either Type S mortar for block or Type N for brick and add a concrete bonding additive.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

I have had one for a number of years and it's a real heavy duty gun. Keep in mind, though, the the staples are proprietary 'Power Crown' and MAY be hard to find. You cant use the more common A-11 staples, for instance.
I've had Bostich all my life - got a couple of hammer tackers, have currently misplaced my 35 YO stapling 'gun' - time for a new one anyway - the staples that fit the hammer tackers will fit this, won't they?"there's enough for everyone"
yup...
and the HVAC outlets carry the staples in boxes of 5,000....

Yeah, I also have the Bostich florescent green hammer tacker and its' staples go right into the hand tacker.
"...and its' staples go right into the hand..."ya - I hate it when that happens....."there's enough for everyone"
Saw the title and got my interest, am I the only person that wonders why HD and Lowe's doesn't carry crown point staples for Bostich Hammer Tackers?
Bostich's marketing strategy seems to be to cede the 'consumer' market to Arrow - I'm guessing that Arrow has a contract with the big boxes that keeps Bostich out - generally, I don't like the quality of Arrow products - - "there's enough for everyone"
Bostich?
Can't say for certain about availability any more but I used to get staples, hammer tackers and squeeze guns from floor covering wholesalers. Popular brand of staplers among carpet guys out here.
