HOW TO MIX GENERAL PURPOSE MASONRY MORTAR
These mixing instructions are designed to help you get the best out of General Purpose Masonry Mortar:
• Segregation can take place during transit, which is why we recommend you thoroughly mix the bag contents before use.
• To mix we recommend you either mix the contents of the bag in a mechanical mixer for 3-4 minutes or hand mix on a clean, flat surface using 2 to 2.4 litres of clean water per bag. It’s important when you hand mix to add water slowly and mix continuously, stopping to test the mixture of the mortar until you get the consistency you want.
• The mortar should be used within an hour of water being added.
• Moisture loss can happen very quickly where temperatures are high and in high absorbency masonry units. The best way to avoid this is to pre-wet the masonry units.
• If you add too much water, the mix will be weaker, it will take longer to set and the overall performance of the mortar will be impaired.
• One of the main benefits of General Purpose Masonry Mortar is that all plasticisers and workability aids are incorporated into the mix, which means you don’t have to add anything to maximise the performance of the product.
• Once laid we recommend you protect the finished product against the effects of frost, rain, arid or windy conditions by covering it with plastic sheeting or hessian.
COVERAGE PER BAG
One bag of General Purpose Masonry Mortar will give you approximately 12 litres of fresh mortar which should be enough to lay 20 standard house bricks or 12 x 100mm blocks laid with a uniform 10mm joint.
