Brick Repair Mortar-
The most important part in
brick repair is the

have a higher crushing pressure than others. This is very important to
remember when repairing the
brick mortar cracking.
If you use a mortar that is too hard, the results are going to be: a
variance in mortar color, the mortar will not bond properly to the
original mortar, the mortar will re-crack and fall out, and is likely to
cause damage to the faces of the brick.

Brick Repair/Crack
Repair-
This has been a side project for
brick masons, and their quality
of repairs are sub-par by today’s standard. In the past,
bricklayers have hammer
and chiseled out cracks in the very surface of the mortar (typically about ¼
of an inch deep). They then rinsed away the dust and any loose debris, allowing
the new mortar to stick......These cracks need to be cut out a minimum of ¾
inch deep. This depth restores the integrity of the
brick structure, and
combined with rinsing insures a proper bond (not just sticking to the surface
which will crumble and chip away).
