What to look for in a lime patching material for historic restoration.
A patching material must match the color and texture of the existing brick and stone. The lime product must adhere well, be breathable, and have similar thermal expansion and weathering characteristics to the host material. Lithomex fulfills these requirements and in most cases, when applied by skilled craftsmen, will lend itself to a long-lasting and perfect match.

Are you a hands-on learner and do you learn better when you understand the theory behind an application?
Easy to use for someone with no mortar experience. I did find it easier to just smear it aggressively into the cracks with a gloved hand since our walls are very lumpy. Smoothed over it with a damp sponge and it blended pretty nicely. Very happy with the mortar and the customer service when I called to ask a few questions before purchase was super helpful/friendly.
