I normally let fresh pointing cure 6 weeks minimum How long do you normally wait

[@paulf2529]

@@GMTpointingspecialistsltd the last job was around 5 weeks not ideal but the scafold was needing to come down. Normally I would leave 6 weeks or longer and if walls apply it working off my tower / ladders.

Yes you can on certain buildings english herritage allowed it But always try to lime wash it first Rather than using a sealer

I’ve used this several times, I like that the building can still breathe through it. I’ve always wondered how long to leave fresh mortar before you can storm dry it especially lime. How long would you leave it Glen?

[@GMTpointingspecialistsltd]

@diddywright6165 leave it as long as you can 6 weeks minimum gives the mortar time to cure

[@Southpoint2019]

Do you brush or roll it on Glen

[@GMTpointingspecialistsltd]

I brush it on you can get a thicker application that way
