Hi all
I want to re-point around my brick fireplace.
I had a bag of ready mixed sand/cement that I needed for another area, however that was no good as when it dried, it was very dark/brownish/grey.
I appreciate I will probably need to experiment with the mix to get the colour I want, but can you please give me some advice as to what sand and what cement to start my experiments with so I end up with yellow mortar?
Also reading other posts, should I be using lime too? There is a big wood burner that chucks out a lot of heat.
Many thanks
