Hi Everyone,

I am repointing my Devon old stone house with lime and I have found some of the stones at the top near the roof (not load bearing) are loose. I want to reset these and I know how to mix up the lime mortar but wondering what the mix is for setting? I am using non-hydraulic putty with a bit of hydraulic added (6:1) to speed up setting for the mortar.

Thanks,

Matt

thanks, is that 3 sand to 1 hydraulic lime? I can't use cement as it't a solid stone wall.
