FAQs

How much water should I add?

Refer to the instructions on the packaging for the recommended water-to-mortar ratio. Add water gradually, mixing until the mortar achieves the right consistency.

Can I store the mixed mortar?

It's best to use the mortar soon after mixing. The board life is long, but it is not recommended to store mixed mortar for extended periods.

What is the coverage of one bag?

Coverage is approximately 0.0135m³ per 20kg bag, though this can vary depending on the application and the size of the bricks or blocks.

What is the drying time?

The mortar has a drying time of approximately 2-3 hours, but full curing takes longer. Protect the work from weather conditions during this time.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes, the packaging is recyclable. Please dispose of the empty bags responsibly.

What are the suitable applications?

The mortar is ideal for bricklaying, blockwork, pointing, and gable ends in both interior and exterior applications.

What is the shelf life of the unopened bags?

The shelf life of the unopened bags is dependent on the storage conditions. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Mortar is too dry.

Add small amounts of water, mixing thoroughly, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Mortar is difficult to work with.

Ensure the mix is not too dry or too wet. Adjust water content as needed. Use a proper trowel for optimal workability.

Mortar cracking after drying.

Ensure the mortar is kept damp during the initial curing phase to prevent rapid drying and cracking.

Poor adhesion.

Make sure that the building materials are clean and free from dust. Ensure proper mixing and application of the mortar.
