Mortar Types and Mixing

Also,it is important to have a tarp at the bottom of the sand pile so the sand will not pick up salts and clays to contaminate the sand. The sand should also be covered on the top of pile so the moisture will not decrease in dry weather and increase with a rain. A sand bulking test should be performed at a minimum before the job starts,every other day and with each new delivery of sand.

was asbestos ever mixed with mortar ? I’m Panicking

[@PineHallBrick]

Chris, Thanks for your question. Pine Hall Brick is not familiar with this practice since we manufacture brick and not mortar. In addition, asbestos was heavily restricted and/or banned in the late 70’s which was almost 50 years ago so we don’t have any resources to confirm if it was commonly (or ever) used in mortar. You may be able to get more information by contacting the Portland Cement Association at www.cement.org.

Pine Hall Brick the chap in the video is using incorrect terminology . it’s bags of masonry cement he’s using not bags of mortar .it becomes mortar when it’s mixed with sand and water. he’s trying to educate people he needs to be crystal clear.i realize that masons in the USA refer to masonry cement as mortar. that’s fine when he’s talking to people in the trade but he’s talking to a worldwide audience here . A lot of people wouldn’t even have heard of masonry cement . Other than that is actually a very good teacher.

@@brickbybric thanks for that. Had me confused for a while until I started researching bags of mortar and they all said premixed.

Mark Haduk on KZbin, a mortar guy since the late 60's says 2:1 mix.Dorset Building school say 6:1.Others say 4:1 or 5:1.ALL of these experts say their mix is based on science and decades of experience, that they've never had an issue and that State inspectors have always approved their works.You now say 3:1.It's shocking how such an important building matter seems to be a matter of opinion.I wonder which of all you experts on KZbin is actually correct?

[@marksteven3534]

And Mike, not Mark also says what works in one climate may not work in another so that explains the different mix's used.
