I’m laying my patio on mortar bed: 4 buckets sharp sand to 1 bucket cement 1. How much water should I add to this mix? (As a rough guide) 2. How much plasticiser should I add to the above water? Cheers

Probably yes. Do you really have enough time on your hands to go back checking what people ask in previous threads ? Thanks anyway It’s my first time laying Indian stone and a project like this
