I was gifted with a bottle of dried Kaffir lime leaf powder. I have no clue what to do with it. Any suggestions?
Lime adds elasticity to the mortar and helps to prevent the finished masonry cracking. A mortar mix of just sand and cement will dry hard and inflexible,it will be strong and more likely to crack. A mortar mix of sand,cement and lime will dry a bit softer and be less likely to crack
You need the proper mason's trowel, it is pointed (rounded) and makes the job a breeze.
More lime to the mix will allow more setting time if a learner and bit slow laying bricks and also could be used in restoration of older buildings that had a softer lime mix in the first place.
...You put da lime in da coconut and drink it all up,....
