Tips for fireplace maintenance
 
  • Fireplace motar must be heat cured, or a white powder forms on the surface and adhesion loss may occur.
  • Air dry fireplace mortar no longer than 30 days before heat curing.
  • Heat curing fuses the mortar, making it water insoluble.
  • If repairing cracks larger than 1/8", we recommend layering. Air dry between layers. When final layer is tack free then heat for final cure.
