Mason Mate Pro – Pointer Marshall Soft Grip Trowel “How To Build Your Own” DVD Tips on Building a Wall – Noel Marshall · Calculate your wall dimensions to full or half sized bricks/blocks. · Lay out brick heaps and mortar spot boards every 2 meters apart to have bricks and mortar in reach at all times. · Very Important; Splash down bricks/ blocks to saturate them with water but leave to surface dry before placement. (Dry bricks absorb the moisture from the mortar, this then forces the mortar to dry out almost immediately which leaves weak brittle joints.) I recommend When working with very porous materials such as Aircrete/ lightweight blocks to brush PVA adhesive (polybond) onto the joint surfaces before placement. · Mortar Mix – 6 part building sand, 1 part cement & 1 part hydrated lime, add water with plasticiser or PVA adhesive (mixed 5:1 in the water). (Never use washing up liquid) · Measure your brick spacing using our brick tape to 215mm brick 10mm joints (half bricks 102.5mm) accurately on the first 2 courses and ensure your joints are on bond – lined up on each course as you progress. For larger projects use our Marshall Profiles to assure absolute precision. · The natural colour of mortar can look quite bland. It’s common for brick walls to add a mortar dye in the mix to enhance the appearance. (Black dye is most common but I use just half the recommended amount, this leaves a grey joint as opposed to stark black, white mortar/ joint is my most favored but this requires white sand and white cement making it quite expensive). · Point your joints after the mortar has started to set so any excess falls away crisp and clean. (1 – 4 hours after placement). Keep bricky in your favorites to stay updated with the latest innovative building tools.
