Mortar Mix

[Millwright]

Just doing a bit of work in the garden, too much to economically use ready mixed mortar.

I have cement, building sand and Sika 'mix plus mortar plasticiser admixture'..

Question is, do I need to add any lime? Or is the Sika admix enough?

Thanks.

To do what with? no you almost certainly don’t need to add lime

Ok, thanks.

Normal designated mixes are lime or plasticiser - one or t'other, not both.
