Lime Green Buff Coloured Natural Hydraulic Lime Mortar Nhl 3.5 (25Kg)

Its a great product, very easy to mix (recommend an oversize bucket and a drill powered mixer) but also very easy to make too wet as the mix will transform from almost a crumb to sloppy very quickly if you’re not diligent, it needs a good five minutes with the drill.Colour is very white and it really does bring out the subtle tones in the brick, I really liked it but a word of caution it doesn’t match the Lime Green rapid set version which is greyer in tone.The sachet dyes don’t help in this respect as they’re buff. It’s not a million miles off, for this project the variation didn’t matter but on your house over a bigger area it probably would stand out.When the mix is right (it will stick to an upturned trowel) it goes into the joints easily and feels almost buttery, slightly overfill and cut off with the pointing growl and you get a really nice texture or for more texture whack the joints with a stiff brush and it will take on a weathered appearance.

This mixes well, and is easy to use...How else can you review a bag of lime cement?!

Colour and ease of use

My first time at DIYRepointing a small wall with lime greenlime mortar, great stuff but hard work,but worth it, would do it again.

Used it to re point front of my house

This is great for doing rendering repairs in my old property. Easy to mix, dries well. I highly recommend

quick delivery and great product.

I know Lime Green products from work (conservation architect) so thought i'd use this pre-mix to do some emergency repointing on my kitchen, which suffered in the winter storms. It's a Victorian outshot, and the pointing is already in mixed buff tones, so I was less worried about colour and more about enabling my walls to dry out.It's a nice mix, well graded, good workability. It's difficult to get pre-mix mortar around London as a DIYer, and I saw this and assumed from the description it would be one of the Lime Green standard buff colours. It's actually off-white, and no 'colour sachet' as some have mentioned. If you're a DIYer looking for a small amount, like me, it's probably worth just accepting the delivery cost and going to Ty-Mawr Lime or similar who have a good choice of pre-mixes.
