Mortaring & temperature

[Paul Miller]

I’m thinking of taking Friday off work to make some progress with my DIY project, which at the moment is building my front garden wall. I’ve not touched this since the end of November due to the cold weather.

The weather forecast looks good for Friday as it’s dry. But my main concern is that the temperature is only going to be about 3C during the day and dropping to -2C at night time.

Do you think that it is feasible to do this work on Friday? Will my mortar set OK and do I need to add anything else other than the plasticiser that I’ve already been adding.

Cheers

Paul
