It's a bit more expensive ($11.99 per pail) but for my application I only needed 3 pails. Personally, I went with the Sakrete Mason-Craft as the directions are very straight forward (there's even a youtube video) and I didn't want to make a mistake with the mix ratio, including the amount of water to add - this needs to be exact for Lime mortars.
This should be completely fine given the extremely low compressive strength (350PSI). It can't be stored in bags due to the lime content. FastSet Repair Mortar has a unique formulation that allows the material to be molded and sculpted during placement. I like the stucco mix, mortar and cement-all products. EasyStick Plus 36' x 36 Black Self-Adhered Rolled Roofing (100 sq ft Coverage) Model Number: 1511893 Menards ® SKU: 1511893. Home Depot carries this in 2kg pails and is called 'Sakrete Mason-Craft'. Try to use a type S or type M though and AVOID a type N, which has a much lower. I spoke to them on Monday and they were extremely helpful and knowledgable.Īnother alternative is to purchase Type-O mortar.
Historic Building Products ( Historic-Building-Products-Ltd.) in Toronto is the place to go if you want to attempt this yourself. From what I've been able to determine - Hydraulic Lime is what would be needed - mixed with sand in a ration of 1 part Hydraulic Lime to 2 parts sand.
Lots of confusion for me on Lime, Hydrated Lime, Hydraulic Lime, etc.
