Me encanta ver tus videos 🔝
Very interesting video mate. 5 in 1 mix in U.K. for bricks and we use a plasticiser instead of lime in this day an age. 6 in 1 mix for thermilite block work. Keep up the good work !
Thanks for that! We once used plasticiser with hydrated lime in our mixes a couple years ago, however lime juice has recently come into the picture, and we haven't looked back
Useful tips mate will give the buckets ago keep up the work mate
Thanks for that!
There's a reason for putting half the sand in the mixer before adding OPC and that's because the cement sticks to the drum of the mixer and you can get lumps of OPC and therefore the mix is not thorough.
Also like here in pommy land your sand is full of impurities which over a period of time means the mortar break down prematurely. I try to buy washed building sand but it's getting very difficult to come by.
Thanks for the video! would you be able to do a video on repairing old brick work?
Cement half way just mixes through with the sand better. But do what you like 👍
I agree, I like to throw it in after 8 shovels,and then the last 8 shovels,I have a video on my channel where I threw a batch in only taking a minute and it was also useable and ready to pour in that minute, probably wouldn't have been ready if I through the cement in first
Hey there! I used to do it half half, and it works, but I find this way works for me!
Thanks
Thanks for the how-to video bro! Could ya do one on how to gauge and plan reading?
No problem! Our next video is another one for the 'How To' Series!
150mm, too setup for brickveneer. Minus if you have any ply bracing
Hey mate what would be the best ratio for mortar for stepping stone laying as a base to set them in ? I going to buy bags and add the water but figured it may costly doing it that way ? Cheers
Hi Ty, do you use the high clay content 'fatty' sand or can you achieve the same creaminess with plasticiser etc?
I'm not gonna lie. This is very different from how I make mud on a day to day basis in WA. Regardless, it is very interesting to see
Yeah we would throw bucket of water 1 bag mortar mix and 15 shovels of sand 3times.prolly fill 3 wheel barrels.
My favourite job form Germany 🇩🇪🤗🤗
Hi does anyone know if you can use this type of rotating drum mixer for stucco? Why do stucco mixers have paddles that rotate instead of the drum rotating?
Well different to us in the uk
Hey mate just thought I’d give you a tip you don’t have to have your mixer at its make height it might help a bit to lower it you won’t get as much splash back
Definitely something I'll change haha! Would save the clean up on our uniforms for sure!
In the US the cement or Portland and lime is pre mixed in the bags, type s has the most Portland and used for block, type n is brick, these are just 2 of the most common types, they're are many types all based on cement/lime ratios known as mortar.
Also we use a different type of mixer
We also have general purpose cement that comes with the lime already added. It's not exclusive to any country.
Also, the mixer used in this video was a side tip mixer. It's not quite as common as a regular mixer and isn't necessarily the most used one in Australia.
I just use a square shovel at work and shake it so it’s a relatively level shovelful do 8 a bag of cement, 2 level Shovelfuls of clay and repeat the 8 level shovelfuls of sand
lime juice is called plasticiser in UK, you are right in adding smallest aggregate first, again not the uk way. Also we rarely use buckets, 10 shovels to half a 25kg bag
A whole lot of different! Thanks for watching the video!
Two different things, I have never used lime juice before, but we add in plasticisers to add in extra air into the mortar, to improve workability
Veo que las bolsas de cemento son mas chicas que acá en mi pais. 🇦🇷
3 sand half cement 3 sand rest of cement. We’ll mix faster and. Better mortar. Ad 1/4 more cement for sill work no holes after acid. Wash fill sills we’ll all the best good video s
which city of australia r u working brother i love bricklaying job and wanna learn do u teach me plx
Melbourne!
That's mix is a 3:1 as half bag is a bucket. Well six buckets one bag cement strong mix 3:1
How much is a bag of cement in Australia
As of now, $8.40AUD
No air entrainer? Plasterzier?
🌏🇦🇺
Lime juice!
Scared to look into the mixer like it was gonna jump out and bite him lol
Just avoiding the mud firing at me haha
Toward end when you said mud ready that mud was so stiff your wrist must be sore from using it
WTF you dont use plasticizer? your mix must be such hard work man. In UK all our houses are brick and you will not find a builder who doesnt use feb in the mix to make it all creamy. Thats mad to see you do use lime in it though? This literally makes no sense. feb / plasticizer eliminates shrinking and cracking during the dry and cure process but also makes it feel like super creamy and the snots dont drop so easy. any mix needs this! concrete, plaster, mortar etc. Mind just blown to see this mix looks like hard work man.
Hey there! We use a liquid lime that acts as our plasticiser. In this video, it's called 'Lime Juice'
not filled to the top you're still guessing volume. Use a mortar mixer not a concrete mixer. Use a respirator.
By the way
Can I follow you ? 🙂
Sure thing!
If you wanna gage the sand like that in buckets you gotta fill them to the top and scrape them flat
Hey there! I find if I fill them right to the top for all 6 buckets it seems to overflow the mixer. On these buckets there are lines inside to show a measurement, so I just go off that!
@@bricksbyty Great job mate i like the idea of buckets too coz if you use a shovel and pussy walks past you lose count.
No es necesario hacer todo eso que dices amigo, cuando debes hacer una obra tan grande te quita mucho tiempo.
sounds weird someone saying the weather is not great in Australia
Melbourne is a whole other beast mate…
Yep it's certainly not sunny ole qld hahaha
Thanks for the video. 🧱 💯 ⚒
No worries mate! I'll hopefully be filming what you suggested last time very soon!
@@bricksbyty Awesome thanks, great to see how it is done "up side down " so looking forward to it and keep up the good work guys. 👏 💯😊
