What temperature does Mortar need to set?
Anonymous user 05/03/2024 - 2.30 PM
I am filling in an old rabbit hatch hole with bricks and a crack on the concrete floor. The Mortar i am using is a Tarmac product, and a multi purpose bag. Currently in my area the temperature fluctuates between 6 degrees and -2 degrees. I am afraid if i start the mortar won't set as its to cold. Have you got any suggestions?

As long as the temprature is 3 degrees and rising you will be perfectly safe anything lower than may cause it to freeze hope this helps

you can use a Frost Proofer to wall under those temps.
once finished cover with hesian or something to protect from the frost.
comes in a tub just add to the water in the mix.
