Womersley’s Stone Repair Mix is a blend of natural minerals and aggregates in a natural hydraulic lime binder. It contains absolutely no cement therefore your repairs will be totally breathable and vapour permeable. Womersley’s natural lime repair mortar can be carved, sanded, dressed and shaped like stone or brick to give a uniquely convincing look and feel.

Safety:

Wear suitable PPE, including gloves, dust mask and goggles. Do not breath the dust. Wash any dust or mixed materials off skin straight away with plenty of clean water. Wash tools with clean water.

Surface Preparation:

Remove any lose masonry. Stone or bricks which are heavily salt contaminated may not be suitable, test on a small area first. Before application the substrate should be lightly dampened. After mixing the stone repair, apply a thin layer with a brush and leave for 10 minutes to ensure a good key for the first coat.

Mixing:

Mix by hand or with a paddle mixer. Carefully add the powder to clean water, using no more than 1.2 litres per 5kg. Mix for between 2 and 5 minutes until a workable consistency is achieved. Do not re-work. Do not use in temperatures less than 3°C or over 25°C.

Application:

Apply coats with a hawk and trowel. Coats should be a minimum of 6mm and no more than 30mm. For multiple coats key each coat and apply green on green. For carved or cut back finishes apply the mix slightly beyond the finished levels. As the mortar hardens work with different tools to achieve the desired shape and finish. Prevent from drying out too rapidly, covering with hessian for 48 hours.

Finishing:

Finish the same day or following day with a sanding plate, Carbide sanding plate 

Coverage:

A 12kg tub will yield sufficient Stone repair to do repair work over 0.5m2 at 10mm.

All colours are made to order 

Due to the use of natural materials in our products there is often some slight variation between batches.

We always recommend you do a test panel to ensure a good match.
