great video, beautifully done.. what is he dying it with , iron oxide and water mix??? also the putty you use ive tried it myself home DIY and it just crumbles off a day later lol
Hydraulic can be used as bedding mortar or for pointing and sets by a reaction with water, hydrated is just used as a plasticiser with sand and cement mixes.If you Google Lime mortars there is a shed load of info on it.
Lime is so much easier to use in some ways. No fighting hydraulics with lower slump, and a user life for a few days. You can wake non hydraulic lime up. Hydraulic cement is a runaway train, that fissures if it is left beyond its life. You can't use hydaulic portland cement at such low slump either, as it has a half life an hour. Great thing about non hydrailic lime, is its autogenous healing in buildings that do not have concrete footings.
Andy,I’ve read/listened to conflicting info regarding NHL. Some knock it up days later but as it has a chemical set as well as carbonation others say it weakens the mix? What’s your thoughts ?
I only mix enough for the day, sometimes there are left overs and they just go in next days mix, i wouldnt mix a big batch of NHL for a few days use but puttys and hot mixes are fine.
Its not that easy to get into unfortunately, there are a few good contractors out there and its competitive work.My advice is Google restauration contractors in your area and see if you can get the start , good luck 👍
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 yes thanks for that I’ve got a contact that I worked with years ago that I spoke to he said the same thing. He offered to help me but the timing wasn’t right but I might chase him up I know he’s well connected it’s just risky at the moment

What is the difference between hydraulic and hydrated lime ?
Hydraulic can be used as bedding mortar or for pointing and sets by a reaction with water, hydrated is just used as a plasticiser with sand and cement mixes.If you Google Lime mortars there is a shed load of info on it.
Is that normal sharpe sand Andy? Also I'm going with a 1930's Singer Bantam 9.
Yes normal sharp, it does look like a Bantam.
Class lads!

Never used hot lime or putty’s but we go by the same principles for the NHL
Cheers Andy

Class job that is
you need a lot of patience to do that sort of work.I know. retired brickie.
I’d love too get into this type of work I’ve had years of site work I’m sick of it doing this would be so much more interesting and satisfying

Lime pointing Grand work, until you have to sit on a wet plank, as the Man said direct ☀️ or Warm/ Dry 💨 can ruin All your Good work 😉
Looking like a citroen...not sure..
@paulhaley5009 It was a Singer Bantam, never heard of it either 👍
He’s better than u
He is 👍
Andy's works just as good 😊
