Mortar for limestone

by Michael
(Indianapolis,Indiana )

I have a job with a limestone entry way to the front door I want to tuck point the joints, But since it is a historic home built in 1937. I want the mortar to match. Is there a product I can buy to match this that is specifically made for limestone?

Mortar For Limestone
by: Anonymous



This may not be the best way to do it, but this has worked for me in the past, I would take a piece of the limestone and pound it into powder and mix it with sand and White Portland Cement so it has the exact colors in it, give it a little more powder than is required to make it strong. I would also make the existing joints damp as to slow the drying process a bit so it is a strong mix.

Hope this helps.
Thanks Jed
