Preparing bluestone for mortared joints
Bluestone - that's an American type of flagstone isn't it? We don't have it in Britain or Ireland, apart from the odd nutter that has deemed it a worthwhile investment to bring some over for a specific project.
I have discussed bluestone with other trans-atlantic correspondents, but, as we don't have it and we don't work with it, I can't really tell you what would be the best way to work with it. However, soaking a flagstone prior to pointing is something that is only done over here when the weather has been/is exceptionally hot and the sub-layers are parched.
