Marble White Lime Mortar

Our Marble White Lime Mortar is non-hydraulic carbonating mortar that is very white in color. It absorbs carbon dioxide in order to set. Use for bedding, pointing and plastering. This mortar has no pigments and contains a blend of marble dusts. This was a custom blend for a customer that we thought was lovely! Add any of our pigments to tint. Use also as a plaster, (see plaster installation instructions here).  Marble White Lime Mortar comes wet in a 5 gallon bucket and weighs approximately 86 pounds. Each bucket will re-point about 65 ft.² for a 3/8″ wide mortar joint at 3/4″ deep.  To begin: Remove the water on the top of the mortar, and save that water to put back on top if needed. We recommend using a beater attachment to “knock up” (mix rigorously for 5 minutes) before using. This energizes the calcium in the mortar.  For areas of high exposure such as chimneys and foundations: Adding pozzolan can be recommended. Pozzolan is a type of clay that makes Lime Putty mortars more durable and robust in extreme environments. Click here to read more about pozzolan.  All ingredients sourced and made in the USA! Please follow all safety warnings and installation instructions! Lime is caustic! Wear eye and skin protection. Pallets are available. A full pallet consists of 24 buckets and weighs 2,200 pounds.
