Hi all, just joined up.
I'm about a zillion years into a 19th C Methodist chapel conversion. All the big stuff was done ages ago and I've loaned my mixer out to a bloke up the road. All the old dried up solid bags of OP and lime have been binned for a while. I've just changed a 1st storey window and need to point up round the frame where it meets the old Norfolk red/Suffolk white bricks. Way back in the day I spent weeks doing trial mixes with mortar to get a match on the original lime mortar, but that was when I was laying bricks too. I just need literally a shovel full or so of mortar, if that, so I wondered what the modern premixed stuff was like? I'd be very interested to hear what people might have to say/suggest/recommend/warn about!
Thanks in advance - I've attached a couple of snaps to paint the picture.
Cheers, Geoff
