About to use these products to repair some cracks in some external masonry, although I've not used them before, the process looks very straight forward. I've got a 4.5lt tub of the 'special Helifix grout', cost about £50 + vat, but a bit surprised it looks to me like a bag of OPC and a sachet of PVA! Now I'm sure Helifix would say they're 'specially formulated' materials, but sure looks to me like I'm being tucked up!! Anyone have any opinions on this?
Anyone used Helifix crack stitching products?

It's actually an epoxy cement grout, not normal OPC. But yes, probably cheaper as a standalone packet.
The other big cost are the SS helical bars.
If you could source the items individually elsewhere, then
could be a bit cheaper.
