Hi,
Well first post here... I have my design for removing load bearing walls and inserting a universal beams. I can see on the project that I'm going to need 40mm dry pack mortar (1:3) between the beam and the wall above. I was trying to look through the forum what the dry pack is exactly but not 100% sure. Is is a mix of cement (any kind or some specific one?) with fine sand in ratio 1:3? Can you buy anything like this which is already pre-mixed (in Wickes, B&Q etc)? If not what cement and what sand I should use? Any links to the product pages will be much appreciated.
