Typical Applications
General purpose landscaping applications such as:

• Bush rock jointing.
• Bedding for some paving and tiles.
• General bricklaying (for superior performance, we recommend Brickies Mortar for this application).
• Repairing damaged concretes and mortars.
• Can also be used a general render over bricks and blocks (for a superior result, we recommend our Uni-Render for this application).


Preparation
Before applying to any surface, remove any loose or flaky material and moisten with clean water.


Mixing
Empty portion required into a wheel barrow or other non porous surface (plastic bucket is good). Add water gradually and mix thoroughly to achieve a workable mix. Do not over water. The less water the stronger the mortar.


Improved Bonding
For improved bonding of mortar mixes, Boral recommends the addition of a suitable bonding agent such as our own Cemstik. This will help ensure a good bond to existing concrete and other surfaces and generally enhance the properties of the mix for any application.


Application
Apply the mixed Blue Circle® Sand & Cement with a suitable trowel or clean sponge depending on the application.

Allow to set to the touch before finishing with a clean sponge, wooden float or steel trowel.
