Pick the Limestone Kit to repair chipped, worn or missing limestone, with both lime mortars and buff-toned pigments in one box.

Product Best for
Repair Grout Hairline cracks, voids and injection in walls
Low Build Shallow wall repairs to 1/4 in. and fine finish detail
High Build Deep wall and overhead repairs, 1/4 to 3 in. per lift
Brick Kit High Build + Low Build, red-toned, for brick walls
Limestone Kit (this one) High Build + Low Build, buff-toned, for limestone walls and trim

Repairing brick? Use the Brick Kit. Stone steps or other high-wear areas? Use Fast-Repair; pure lime patches are generally too soft there.

  • Both lime repair mortars in one kit - High Build for depth, Low Build for the finish.
  • Pigments for limestone - Light Buff, Dark Buff and Charcoal packs included.
  • Water only - plus pigment; no Portland cement.
  • Long working time - carve and sand for more than a week after placing.

How the job goes

  • 1. Prepare. Remove loose material and dampen the masonry.
  • 2. Build. Mix High Build with water and pigment and build up the missing material.
  • 3. Finish. Finish the surface with Low Build, then carve, sand and protect while it cures.

What's in the kit

  • 1 gallon High Build, Natural White
  • 1 quart Low Build, Natural White
  • 1 Light Buff pigment pack with each container
  • 1 Dark Buff and 1 Charcoal pigment pack

Safety: lime is caustic. Wear gloves and eye protection.


More about the Limestone Patching Mortar Kit

Limestone sills, lintels, walls and carved trim wear and chip over time. This kit gives you the two lime mortars a limestone repair needs, plus pigments in the buff range, so you can rebuild and finish in one go.

The gallon of High Build is a fine-fiber, lightweight lime mortar that holds on vertical and overhead surfaces and builds up to 3 inches per lift; it can be carved and stamped. The quart of Low Build gives a smooth, creamy finish, from hairline cracks to featheredge, in lifts up to 1/4 inch. We recommend working when it's above 40°F, and protecting fresh work from freezing while it cures.

Both are lime mortars without Portland cement, softer than cement or epoxy repair mortars and breathable alongside the stone. They can be carved and sanded for more than a week after placement, so you can match tooling marks and edges. Mix small test batches with the Light Buff, Dark Buff and Charcoal packs until the color sits right.

These pure lime mortars typically shouldn't be used on steps or flatwork, because they are generally too soft for those areas; use Fast-Repair for stone steps and other high-wear masonry, and High Strength Concrete Patch for concrete flatwork. For brick, the Brick Kit has the same two mortars with red-toned pigments.
