Hi All, Aparently one of our jobs this weekend is to re-point the chimney breast of our old rubble-stone cottage in Brixham.
Not knowing the score I was packed off to the builders merchant with instructions from my good lady to get some lime mortar.
The man in the builders merchant recommended hydraulic lime (castle 3.5 I Believe) and as we want it to hold things together and the stones are mostly a redish colour as found in south Devon we thought we'd best mix it up to match the colour.
So I have 3 bags of a fine red somethingHead sand and a bag of hydraulic lime.
Can anyone give me a few pointers on mixing and usage given it's for internal pointing.
Cheers Pete
