My 100 year old brick house needs some mortar repair. I know the mortar is unlike the modern Portland cement based mortar, as it is much whiter and softer. I assume it's a lime based mortar common years ago, Having read lots about it, I want to experiment to try to match. I know I can get it analyzed, but I'm cheap. My problem is I can't find a type S hydrated lime. No one around here sells it, nor can I find it online. Quikrete makes this product I assume may be close enough, but it's not available here. Any ideas? Tractor supply sells an Ag lime some say is the same thing. Is that true? My resources tell me to use a hydrated lime.
