    Hi All

    I've bought 50 Quinn Lite Blocks (B7) to build an external structure (BBQ Island) that will be exposed 24/7 and was hoping you could help me with the correct options I have to protect the blocks from the weather. This is a small DIY project so I was looking for easy options for newbies.

    I am considering either:

    1) Painting the blocks directly - but am not sure how to prepare the blocks for painting and what types of products to use.

    2) Installing stone cladding tiles - but not sure what time of mortar/plaster to use due to how porous the blocks are.

    Could you please help me with suggestions?

    Also, regarding laying the blocks themselves, is there a ready mix mortar product I could buy that already comes in the correct cement/sand proportions?


    Cheers,
    Andre
