Handy Hints STEP 1 If using a concrete mixer, add clean water per the instructions on the bag to the mixing vessel. Empty the Trade Mortar blend into the water and mix thoroughly. Start with the minimum amount of water to achieve a workable mix. Do not exceed the recommended amount as too much water weakens the mortar strength. OR if using a wheelbarrow, place the required amount of Trade Mortar into a wheelbarrow, plastic bucket or on a non-absorbent surface making a ‘well’ in the centre of the powder add clean water per the instructions on the bag mix thoroughly to obtain an even and consistent mix. STEP 2 Apply the mix with a trowel. Allow the Trade Mortar to stiffen to touch dry before attempting to rake or finishing the mortar joints. LIMITATIONS Do not allow the mixed mortar to stand for an extended period of time, as re-tempering the mix with additional water will weaken the mortar. Note: Additional water may prolong setting and weaken the overall strength of the mortar.
