<p>Listen mate, what Tom has told you is correct and sensible and i would take note.</p><p>However some years back Kalmback published anarticle on Glopatta i thik thats how it is spelt and i have just started using it and the results are terrific. I have metrified the formula and adopted it for Queensland conditions and i have published the formula on the forun just recently and i have since found out my mixture was quite wrong.</p><p>It is 30 parts mortar, 1 part fire clay, 1 part cement (not concrete) 1 part hydrated lime, 1 part colouring and 10 plus parts water. The colouring will vary with the effect you are trying to achieve and the water will also vary with the weather conditions. I am using 1 part biege colouring, as i am looking for a Queensland sandstone colour and i am going to mark the whole thing to make it look like sandstone blocks.</p><p>Jack if you read this, it would go terrific on your brickwork as that is where i am using it.</p><p>Rgds Ian </p>
