Dpc and mortar

[Pocster]

Hey 

 

dumb question again !

once I lay my first run of blocks do I just put the dpc on then lay the next course ?

i.e do you put mortar underneath or on top the dpc ???

 

cheers

Every bricklayer I have ever seen just rolls the DPC onto bare blocks, than lays the mortar for the next course onto the DPC.

Put it both sides. At least that's what I was taught. Just put a smear underneath. Then bed the next course normally.

Definitely mortar both sides,

Mortar both sides it is!. Thanks!.

 

One of the questions worth asking *before* you start

Both sides. Only a trace under neath.

Got it - cheers
