hi,
I've read a ton of stuff on this new fangled Lime business, but it just leaves my head spinning. I can see why people stick to cement!
so here's my scenario, I bought a 25kg bag of NHL 3.5 and a tub of Lime putty. Thought I'd try them both out.
my questions, how do I mix them up.
the bag of dry nhl 3.5
1. I put a shovel of it into a bucket
2. added little water and mixed till it was a ball of putty
3. then I added 2 and a bit shovels of sharp sand to it, mixed it up, and it looked pretty good as a mortar.
4. I've put one brick down with it and will let it dry out and have a look.
Does that sound like the right way to do it? I keep reading bits of info saying you should mix the lime/water and leave for 24 hours....
If that sounds right I'm going to assuming the lime putty will just put me at stage 3 straight away?
