I know my query is probably going to sound a bit ridiculous: is there any way of storing ready mixed mortar? It would be ideal if surplus mortar could be stored in an airtight container for a few extra days and ready to use for the many odd jobs of a renovating project. I am aware there are many types of fillers in the market which might answer my question but these are quite expensive compared to mortar and require a different approach which might not be very practical sometimes.
Thanks for any hint....
Alex.
