Finding a straight answer on this is maddening - perhaps you can help
I have bought several bags of powder-form (ie not putty in tubs) hydrated lime for repointing several walls (Already raked out c1 inch) in my 1899 built house.
What is the mix of mortar I need to make to do the repointing? Can I just mix the lime and sand (what type? shapr sand i presume) together or do i need water (I presume the lime is already slaked)
Sorry if i sound confused any help appreciated
