Our Natural Wheat Lime Putty Mortar is non-hydraulic for bedding and re-pointing is premixed with sand and ready to use. This mortar contains no pigment and gains its color from the sand. This is a carbonating lime mortar. It absorbs carbon dioxide in order for it to set.
Natural Wheat Lime Putty Mortar comes in a 5 gallon bucket and weighs approximately 85 pounds. Each bucket will re-point approximately 65 square feet for a 3/8″ wide mortar joint at 3/4″ deep.
We recommend using our beater attachment to “knock up” (mix rigorously for 5 minutes) before using. This energizes the calcium in the mortar. Remove the water on the top and save that water to put back on the top if the mortar is not all used at that time. Natural Wheat Lime Putty Mortar can be installed using a bag, if more water is added, however the addition of water will add mass to the mortar and it will tend to develop shrinkage cracks which must be compressed together as the water leaves the mortar. To avoid failure, do not re-point in temperatures below 40°F.
For areas of high exposure such as chimneys and foundations: Adding pozzolan can be recommended. Pozzolan is a type of clay that makes Lime Putty Mortars more durable and robust in extreme environments. Click here to read more about Pozzolan.
A note about color: A slicked joint verses a weathered joint may appear to be two different colors even though they are the same color. Shadowing, joint recession, finishing techniques etc. will affect color perception.
