Hi and welcome, plenty of lime mortar in the cottage then...

 

[Old_Brown]

I'm going to have to do some repointing with NHL 2 mortar putty as it happens - which will be an interesting new experience ...

I thought 3.5 was used....

This is to be internal. 3.5 would be for outside as I understand it.

I done some training quite a few years ago and 3.5 was the standard, to be fair never heard of 2.

I think there is a 7.5 but they very strong and is as strong as concrete.

Heres a good link http://www.lime-mortars.co.uk/lime-mortar/hydraulic

It was this company that recommended NHL 2. It's on the link!
