Quick question, I want to patch up the mortar above my arched front door way, using snowcrete. What's the best ratio to use, do I even need to use silver sand if I'm just touching up?
Repointing with snowcrete?

If you are trying to match the colour of the old pointing, remember that mortar always dries lighter than it looks in the mixer. The colour of the sand will affect the colour of the mortar. Depends on how close you want the match to be.
1 cement : 5-6 sand (vol) is a good general purpose mix
